Blessed day! I do not think the national ICT Policy and practitioners are related. Said "ICT Practitioners" would not be the "only" persons with interest or affected by the national policy direction. I am yet to read the Practitioners Bill shared. What I know is that professions have "practice " Marketers,and Lawyers, HR Practitioners, Electricians are registered against certain standards which include academic and professional development. At the same time, more often than not, the "expert" Electrician when cables fall of is normally streetwise and may not be registered - gets job done. On the ICT practitioners end, a shared definition on ICT Practitioner is required so as to have a coherent discussion. Otherwise kila mmoja anachangia mada yake, kwani hatushikilii maana moja. And if ICT Practitioner has no definition, perhaps the drivers of the bill may have been attempting to give it a face. Blessed day.

Hey Dennis,

Welcome on board..!

The Draft National ICT policy, (a review of the last one formulated in 2006) has been under discussion for the past abt 10 days on the forum. You can familiarize yourself with the just ended great debate at www.kitanet.or.ke, under the corresponding link headings.

Walu, just wondering whether this can be extended to allow Listers ventilate on the  ICT practitioners bill currently trending exhaustively probably as an issue to be incorporated in the draft policy discussion, as opposed to treating it as a separate issue. As many as are of a similar opinion, say 'aye'..

Hi Hary,

Kindly bring me up to speed with the draft that you are talking about, I joined this mailing list a day ago so I don’t have much context into the matter.

Thanks.

Dennis
