Bomu et al,The stakeholders need to push for its complete withdrawal instead of amendment since it does not have the support of majority of the stakeholders. The committee is allowed to recommend the withdrawal of the bill on the basis of the submissions received.

Subject: Re: [kictanet] ICT Bill is not going away KICTANet together with others (KEPSA, TESPOK, BAKE, KITOS, iHub) presented a memorandum to the Energy and ICT Committee opposing the Bill on 26th July. We were advised about the process of withdrawal of a Bill, which is that only the sponsor can withdraw it, with the leave of the Speaker. We nevertheless presented our memorandum and our position was similar to the Ministry's position- that the Bill is not grounded on sound policy and should be withdrawn.Committee insisted that they had 21 days in which to report back the Bill. They asked for proposals to amend what we thought were problematic clauses and there was another hearing before the committee on 28th July. Committee is still discussing stakeholder views before reporting back the Bill.

We need a proper public consultation on this, in the same way as the
current Cybercrimes bill, and the recent ICT policy.

Just another thought that has not so far been raised: Engineers are
also 'ICT Practitioners', so are some lawyers, so are some doctors, so
are many other professions, which each already have their own
registration.  So they now must ALSO be registered as ICT
practitioners?
