The minister said fake news could lead to anarchy in the society and the loss of lives and property.

“We must be in the forefront of advocating for truthful information all the time,” he said.

“Everything that is fake should not be promoted. This is because it can lead to anarchy and destruction of lives and properties.

“And by the way, nobody will want his home, country, state or nation to be in tatters because somebody is encouraging fake news.

“Fake news should be condemned in all its ramifications. I have said that it is important for all of us to be careful in the way we navigate these waters.
