To me, the bill seeks to achieve two objectives: 1) Create a walled garden around public procurements (Little one can do to private entities without messing with the bill of rights) around a certain clique of individuals. My thinking, exact same reasoning behind the Engineers Registration Board rent seeking by charging a percentage of Electricity and Fuel sold in this country, which I think is the reason Kenya stopped manufacturing even spoons and toothpicks. 2) Formal education in ICT / Computer science has proven to be redundant. Other than the papers, there is little, a Computer Science graduate might have to offer compared to a passionate Fine Arts student who happened to love programming in lots of industries considered tech companies. Let the bring on the bill, Mainstream IT will just go dark. Its one of the many disappointments CS Mucheru has birthed in the recent years.
