[kictanet] Fwd: STATEMENT ON THE INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) PRACTITIONERS BILL 2016 BY ICTA

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

@Waudo,

The industry has tackled the bill on multiple fronts. There have been
memoranda from multiple sources to parliament in rejection of the bill in
totality. Distinguished progressive Members of the National Assembly have
also been contacted to fight for the interests of the community, and moreso
the youth. All this effort culminated with the CS of ICT issuing the
statement that went out on Wednesday.

On that note, and to strengthen the process, it would be great if CSK
approach it's lawyers, and members, and also submits a response to the
Clerk of the National Assembly. Together we are stronger.

Sincerely,
