CYBER-SECURITY BOSS ADMITS: ‘I DON’T USE COMPUTERS’

The Japanese minister for cyber-security was accused of making a mockery of his role after he admitted he has never used a computer. Yoshitaka Sakurada, 68, faced a wall of laughter from legislators when he made the admission in a car-crash response to questioning in parliament. Sakurada, pictured, from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, is in charge of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and deputy chief of the government’s cyber-security strategy office. Clearly uneasy when quizzed about technical matters during a TV debate, the MP admitted: “Since the age of 25, I have instructed employees and secretaries, so I don’t use the computers myself.” He also appeared confused by the concept of a USB drive. MPs laughed at his replies, which were circulated widely on Japanese media and online.
