[kictanet] The Information Communication TechnologyPractitioners Bill, 2016 - Taking effect???

[Ahmed Mohamed Maawy]

Hello Fellows,

Here is a serious breakdown in communication and for sure we as a community
are not at fault on this issue.

However, all we know is that all of a sudden there is a wave to accredit
parties to do various things under the sun all of a sudden. And multiple
number of times has the community raised this issue as specifically a not
going to work model.

Valid there may be divergent opinions on this matter but then a bigger
question for the implementing party to answer is what are the guidelines to
measure accreditation and who will be in a position to measure it (and we
may still argue back and forth about how these accreditations have made
Kenya a tech hub lets put that aside for now and just focus on the question
- and I am sure we will realize that the Accrediting Party - in all its
respects - will still be as human an entity as all of us are - that is if
ever there have been globally recognized frameworks to pull this off on a
nation's scale).

In a world where the user's competence is available a LinkedIn Profile
click away - are we still looking at papers or CVs to drive the tech sector?
