With the possibility of general and regional elections this year, Opposition Member of Parliament Juan Edghill has called on the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) to extend its monitoring to social media.
Edghill, a former Chairman of the ERC, made the call while delivering a speech at the launch of the ERC’s Harmony Campaign at the Savannah Suite of the Pegasus Hotel last Friday night.
“We are to ask of the ERC to enhance its diligence and monitoring and even extend that to social media… We must also monitor what is taking place on social media since it can interfere with harmony relations in our country from all sides. Whether it is bigoted views on one’s race, culture, religion or who they are associated with, we have to deal with those issues,” he said while making his call.
