[kictanet] Registering ICT practitioners

@Wambua

Please can you quote the exact clause of the exact law that the CA is talking about here? 

Are you guys talking about Telco service providers, Software Developers, Hardware Resellers etc? I'm confused. 

And how does a license guarantee quality of service? 

This is simply rent seeking. And will not stand.

This will guarantee consumers of recourse to regulatory intervention in instances where licensees fail to meet their contract obligations. It is also meant to complement ongoing initiatives to weed out unlicensed entities from the ICT market,and therefore protected our licensees from unfair competition.
