MACRA Director General Daudi Suleman stated that the primary purpose of the machine is to analyse trends (topics) on social media, not to locate individuals spreading fake news.

Suleman says MACRA will use the information to produce campaigns that will help build digital literacy. He added that the machine is capable of analysing trends in the country’s local languages, such as Chichewa.

MACRA intends to procure the device from HASHCOM Ghana Limited for $1.5 million, approximately over 3 billion Kwacha.
