[kictanet] No Need to regulate IT Practitioners???

[John Walubengo]

sounds like 'the strength of a geek' rather than a woman.

anyway, i still dont see how regulation would make the System admin release his/her password...i.e. this company is still cooked, with or without regulated IT Profession.

better move for the company should have been to ensure that several super user accounts (e.g. Dkamau and JWambui) have administrative privilages to the system.  When DKamau defaults you can count on JWambui to keep the system running. Its about internal processes...

But yes, thereafter, DKamau can be struck off the practitioner's list for a while -while the company lives to tell the tale.

walu.
