Isn't this redundant? The communications authority (CA) already registers telecommunications personnel and operators. Na hii sasa? On Jul 5, 2016 10:38 PM, "Mwendwa Kivuva via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
Thanks Washington for this.
Some preliminary issues on the Bill after reading it: 1. There is established an ICT Practitioners Institute 2. Information Communication Technology Association of Kenya nominates 5 people on the Board of the Institute. How many guys here are members of the ICT Association? Is it the bonafide body to represent all ICT practitioners in Kenya? 3. All ICT practitioners must be registered and licensed as ICT practitioners on payment of annual fees. 4. You must have a Diploma or Degree to qualify for registration as an ICT partitioner. Just think about Bill Gates and Zuckerberg. Non of them graduated from college, but they changed the world in their own small way. 5. You must have 3 years experience to practice ICT. 5. The example of Bill Gates and Zuckerberg is the best yet, of permission-less innovation 6. A person shall not operate an ICT firm unless it is registered by the Institute and has paid annual membership. 7. A person shall not be entitled to recover a fee for ICT services, unless such person is licensed under this Act.
So my mechanic diagnoses my car using a computer, and does computerised wheel balancing. They may now be prepared to get licensed.
Well this bill affects all techies in this list. The bill makes it illegal to practice your trade without being licensed.
Well, the constitutions allows enough consultation before any bill is passed in parliament. If you feel your interests are not taken care by the new bill, then now is the time to raise your voice or forever keep your cool. We will deliver any petition from this list to Leader of Majority of the National Assembly, SNA, and Minister of ICT.

FYI - Anyone knows about this?
The Kenya ICT Practitioners Bill 2016 is currently in Parliament. It has interesting proposals for example to have an Institute that will register and license ICT practitioners on payment of the prescribed fees. Read the draft bill here:
