Andrew Alston started this petition to JOSEPH MUCHERU

The Kenya ICT Practitioners bill is once again back - with its ability to stifle innovation, damage the ICT industry in Kenya, and make the country a far less welcoming place for those in the industry to participate. The bill does this by forcing the licensing of every individual deemed to be an “ICT practitioner” while defining such in manners broad enough to cover 80% of the human population. It does this without proper public consultation. It does this without research backing its efficacy. It insults the intelligence of Kenyan companies by dictating who they may hire and for what reasons. In every sense of the word - this bill is a cancer to the industry, and twice it has been tried before, and twice it has died. This petition implores the ministry of ICT to take a stand and say no - for the good of the industry that they are meant to represent. As such, we implore the ministry to #KillTheIctBill once and for all, let it be relegated to the pages of history as yet another bad idea, where people saw the light and chose the country, the economy, the people, and the industry over their own profiteering goals.

Stupid government continues to shoot itself in the foot

Its chieth like this that makes my blood want to start boiling.

This nonsense has been brought back kwani?! Ile ujinga iko hii Kenya

Hii bill ni ya umeffi sana.

Wanataka kurudisha

Seems like they are after licensing fees which equals to billions.

who came up with the bill ? …that fcker should be doxed or something

In the whatsapp group I am in they say it was a nominated MP called Godfrey Osotsi.

apart from the ‘official’ reasons given , what is the REAL objective here …is it JKUAT hackers wamesumbua sana ama there is a hidden agenda…

it doesn’t make sense

Hapa ni wakubwa wanataka kunukisha kitunguu without working. Considering the number of people who will be required to obtain licenses to offer ICT services, kuna mtu atakuwa overnight mbirrionaire na licensing fees tu. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Objective is to eat nothing else.

ICT nowadays ni tutorials na experience kidogo and you are good… so wakisema e.g minimum ni diploma level 1 degree level 2 masters level 3 etc what happens to the rest because najua watu wengi who are self taught na wameiva mbaya sana…
