President Irfaan Ali yesterday said the government will be employing “the full force of the laws” to end the promotion of racial hate on social media.
In a press statement yesterday, Ali said that he was unequivocally committed to governing the country and its people, regardless of political affiliation or ethnic origin.
“It deeply grieves me, therefore, when I see almost every day on social media, the degree of race baiting, racial hate and racial hostility which pervades the social media platforms. I want you to know that it is my determination to do everything within my power and to use all the laws at my disposal, to put an end to this behaviour, which can only result in dividing our country and our people,” he declared.
