<br>> Subject: [ke-internetusers] ICT Board's accreditation of<br>> BPO Society<br>><br>><br>><br>> This morning I attended a breakfast meeting hosted by the<br>> newly appointed<br>> ICT Board but which turned out to be a flag waving event
<br>> for some private<br>> club called the BPO Society.<br>><br>> It is interesting what happens when you pick private<br>> sector people and give<br>> them the mandate to run a public institution. Last time
<br>> I checked single<br>> sourcing for government services can only be done after<br>> requesting exemption<br>> from the Ministry of Finance, but I stand corrected.<br>><br>> The ICT Board has unilaterally appointed the BPO Society
<br>> as the only bona<br>> fide forwarder of licensing applications for any BPO<br>> business, under which<br>> gazette notice was this status issued? It is interesting<br>> how a state agency<br>> can send me to pay a private club (Kes. 35,000/-) for
<br>> them to forward my<br>> application to set up a business. Even at the height of<br>> bureaucracy<br>> institutions like the Chamber of Commerce never had such<br>> powers, so where<br>> does the ICT Board get the authority to single source for
<br>> a vetting agency?<br>><br>> The answer to the whole issue came out in a subtle manner<br>> on one of the<br>> slides US$ 11.4 Million (Kes. 0.75 Billion) for capacity<br>> building of the BPO<br>> industry. Somebody seriously needs to monitor this new
<br>> private sector dream<br>> teams.<br>><br>> This are the acts that stifle young industries, I think<br>> to grow the BPO<br>> business in this country we need to have the government<br>> look the other way
<br>> to let entrepreneurs do what they have to do like the<br>> council did with the<br>> issue of private garbage collectors and CCK with courier<br>> service providers.<br>> Let legislation follow ingenuity & creativity, the other
<br>> way just doesn't<br>> work.<br>><br>><br>><br>> Robert Yawe<br>><br>><br>><br>> _____<br>><br>> Yahoo! Answers - Get better answers from someone who<br>> knows. Try<br>>
