[kictanet] ICT Authority to weed out quacks

Thu Dec 1 11:05:19 EAT 2016

Warm greetings Brian!
The bigger picture needs to come to play.
Once the Government has standards around operating with it, what next. Next the area business asks that you comply with the same and before you know it the MNC uses the "Government standard" as its benchmark. Next, small businesses cannot find work. Next some "compliant" keep getting the jobs.

The marketspace may be very big and distorted now for many to care or even feel the impact in the short term hustle.

I guess the message is "think of it as a wait for the boomerang to be unleashed or engage in and design the landscape."
To engage together, there is a lot of trust factors to be managed and "ujuaji" as all players are very knowledgeable. I guess that is what multistakeholderism is all about.

Be blessed.
Regards/Wangari

 This is only to be applied to people trying to do contract jobs for the government, right?

Blessed Thursday!
Might the sector be getting its shape?
Private schooling started as an innovative approach to education - now we even have more innovative home schooling and best practice approaches. Healthcare etc
Who has helped to weed out quacks proactively in most instances - it is the industry associations working with the governments. An angle to borrow from.
"....He said the authority will in the next couple of weeks launch ICT standards where every professional in the field seeking to serve public service must comply.“One of the things which we are doing very soon in the next couple of weeks, is that we shall be launching ICT standard, these are ICT national standards and we plan on having them effective from first of January and based on that vendors will have to comply with the standards,” said the CEO, adding that those who will not comply to the standards will be blacklisted..."
How might the players engage in the discourse to give it shape while keep its jelly-nature?

Be blessed.

 Well in this case this dog could come biting back at the same people who unleashed it. That is if we take into consideration how our institutions are run.
