I sat down to build my future in this country. I didn't know someone was already writing a law about it. :face_palm:???
That realisation hit me like cold water. And my mind haven't quite shaken it since 28th of March i heard this news.

When the #NITA Bill drama flooded my timeline everyone had something to say. People debating people who hadn't read it. People defending it without reading it either.

That realisation hit me like cold water. And my mind haven't quite shaken it since 28th of March i heard this news.

When the #NITA Bill drama flooded my timeline everyone had something to say. People debating people who hadn't read it. People defending it without reading it either.
I'm trying to build something in this country. So before I opened my mouth I thought let me actually read the thing.
So I did. Every section. Every clause. Two weeks of careful reading while most of my projects were on hold waiting for me to come up for air.

And honestly? I wish I hadn't slept on it this long.
Here's one line that hasn't left my head since I read it :weary: :broken_heart:
"A person shall not be appointed as an ICT professional in a public or private institution unless that person is certified by the Authority."

Sit with that for a second. :thinking:
Not certified by AWS. Not by Google. Not by your university. By NITA. The same body that wrote the bill, sets the criteria and enforces the rules.
So what happens to the student in Kumasi teaching herself to code at night? What happens to the guy in Tema building his first app on a secondhand laptop? What happens to the young lady in Takoradi freelancing her way through university just to survive?

Do we tell them get certified first or stay out?
Is that the Ghana we are building?
Because if you could be the best developer in Accra, ship 10 products, raise funding, employ people and still fall on the wrong side of this bill then something is deeply wrong.

This is the kind of law that quietly closes doors on people who never even got the chance to knock. :face_palm:??? :broken_heart:
