Say No to the ICT Practitioners Bill

The Issue

The Kenyan Govt proposed a bill: The ICT Practitioners Bill. This bill comes with some wrong ideologies such as:

-For you to practice any ICT related activities you have to be registered as a Practitioner. This means licence fees, and other possible fines. The youths are the one who practice ICT. Most youths do so because they are jobless. This will obviously discourage any current or future practitioners.
- Is either a holder of an ICT Degree, diploma or any Degree with 3 years experience. We all know that most ICT practitioners do not have any or have very little formal education on ICT. 
- Extra bureaucracies which are most likely to discourage youth from registering and possibly foster corruption.

Anyone who has worked in the ICT field knows that this is a free world of trade. These regulations are more likely to hinder youths progress than to help the industry.
