Noted. These things are hard to implement, leading those proposing them to resort to threats to achieve their aims. However HR could have a better argument since it is not a cross-cutting activity or tool utilised by everyone. W. On Wed, Aug 24, 2016, at 12:02 PM, Alex Watila via kictanet wrote:

How does Duale react when confronted with the fact that the bill runs counter to Government policy? Is he dismissive? The Jubilee (Digital) Government had top of its manifesto and agenda the recognition that ICT is an enabling tool for all Kenyans. To this end laptops are even being introduced to ALL pupils in standard 1. It's funny that someone then fronts a bill which essentially creates a crime of "practicing ICT without a license". Probably some people will be hauled to court with computers and illicit code as exhibits for posing as ICT practitioners. I don't think Duale understands anything about the bill. His only explanation, according to Hussein's report, is that a "section of Kenyans" have approached him. Now that we have lawyers, engineers, architects, doctors, what will we call these new guys going round with a license to practice ICT? I suggest "Icytors", and they can prefix their names with "ICY". Comments welcome. On Fri, Aug 19, 2016, at 10:46 AM, Tony White via kictanet wrote:

Well no where else in the world ICT professionals have to buy a licence so not too sure what the bill will do as it is self defeating. In my view they will have to regulate all aspects of engineering. ICT is about engineering and NOT a practice like accountants and lawyers who deal with historic events. ICT is an enabler for business likewise is engineering or creating new possibilities for revenue or improving on the current. @Hussien, can we organise a session to educate the government. Thanks, Best Regards, Baiju
