[kictanet] Who speaks for the ICT professionals in Kenya?

Wed May 7 16:01:56 EAT 2014

Hello,
Lawrence, that sounds like a serious research topic right  there; Concept
paper coming right up!
With all the earlier mentioned Professional institutions (ICPAK, Engineers,
e.t.c) it borders on Minimum necessary professional Qualifications,
Continuous professional development in the  sector, among others;

For starters we just need to identify the Minimum necessary professional
qualifications :

Kind regards,
Judy
