Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Fwd: Kenya's ICT Practioners Bill: Pay 46K per year for license to practice!

Can we all come up with our recommendations, collate those and pass them over to KICTANet where they can come up with a collective document to be presented to the Minister?

Someone can start a google doc somewhere for us to post our input..

I've been reading it. I really can't believe it's real! There is so much "ridiculousness" and possibility of greed in that document.

On top of that annual fee you have to demonstrate continuing
education.... sic. Reading through that draft it has a bunch of some
seriously problematic issues. With that draft the likes of Mark
Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and many others would not be
licensed to work. The Ministry needs to hear our voice on this one.
