Kenya’s 12th parliament passed the controversial 2020 proposal that seeks to regulate anyone who employs technologies to collect, process, store or transfer information for a fee.
The wide-sweeping and vague ICT Practitioners Bill mandated the registration and licensing of vaguely defined ICT practitioners by a council.
