[kictanet] Registering ICT practitioners

Tue May 30 21:21:51 EAT 2017

I have already done so. Here we go:

KICA Section
24. (1) No person shall—
(a) operate a telecommunication system; or
(b) provide any telecommunication services
except in accordance with a valid licence granted under this Act.

And there are other clauses in KiCA that cover other services such as broadcasting, postal/courier and radio-communications services.

@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.

Wambua,

Please educate me on this one....

When did this become the law?

We have had similar debates here when Parliament & later Min.ICT tried to push through a very similar law and to the best of my knowledge they remained as proposals / draft laws.

CA is implementing the law that requires service providers in the ICT sector to obtain licences from the Authority before commencing operations.

I did not imply in any way that this was best way to enforce contractual obligations.

Wambua,
We've been through this argument the last time. I'd like to see the research that backs up your assertion that this is the best way to get recourse for contractual obligations. We have courts and I'd like to know why that option is inadequate

Sent on the move, kindly excuse any typos.

The rationale for the public notice is to encourage consumers to seek ICT services only from licensed service providers. 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.

Best regards

Wambua

The persons running these unlicensed entities
