| dc.description.abstract | Telecom fraud is generally defined as an abuse of telecom services, subscription frauds, bypass frauds and also dissemination of any illegal content via the telecom network. There are different types of telecom frauds and techniques; among others are sim box frauds, bypass fraud, and call termination. The aim of writing this thesis is to assess the implementation gap, analyze practical challenges on the implementation of the telecom fraud proclamation which is enacted in 2012 and the discrepancies of some provisions of the proclamation with related laws specifically the computer crime proclamation. Based on the data collected from the key informants in this thesis, the executive organs specifically are facing several challenges while trying to implement the law due to failure of stating some crimes, improper determination of penalties, and failure of discharging responsibilities of organs and so on. The thesis also examines the preparedness of the law ahead of expected shift in the telecom industry, i.e. liberalizing the market to private and international operators which might be a source of additional challenges to law enforcement on the telecom sector. This thesis recommends amendments for better implementation of the law and attempts to provide insights on how to improve the existing law in order to address encounters associated with upcoming shifts. | |
