UCC is directed by the speaker to find those who are "abusing" her on social media.
This request is in response to claims that, during a plenary discussion on government-imposed taxes that sparked protests among traders, she verbally attacked David Bahati, the minister of state for industries.
The government organization in charge of regulating the communication industry, including social media, is UCC.
The speaker made the claim that people who disseminated false information about her on social media “need prayers.”
"Some people are abusing social media to damage other people's reputations," she stated.
It is depressing to see Minister Bahati, a committed public servant, being singled out for criticism. The state of our nation is called into question by this circumstance."
The Speaker questioned how individuals could stoop so low as to abuse it to such extent.
