the people we put in power are the same exact people that goes against us. the NITA Bill 2025 wants to force every developer, designer, and IT professional in Ghana to get a government license just to work. we say no.

The bill is a misplaced priority in its entirety. It will hinder technology innovation, growth and emerging startups.

I am a software engineer and I do not agree that every product or project need an approval from NITA to be published. This will suffocate growth and independent thinking and innovation.

You can’t certify competence that the system never gave us the chance to build. Invest in practical tech education first. Then talk about licensing.

The government refuse to give jobs, and some of us had to teach ourselves to become a developer and now they want to arrest us because we can’t be hired without their approval…are they doing this to give our side hustle as jobs to the 1million coders graduates??!…this is totally unfair and the government should first understand what’s happening in the dev community in Ghana before they do anything.

Tech is already being regulated. There are already very strict licenses to have especially for tech companies building in the finance space. But this bill sounds like control instead of Regulation.

Why should we need that if people in other European countries do not need anything like that and even get support but we do not get any support and you expect us to first get license?

In typical fashion ghana bureaucrats see an industry budding and shoeing promise, and their only instinct is regulate till it dies, thats all they are good for

The NITA Bill 2025 is just a poison to the tech industry in Ghana and it will cause a lot of stagnation to the space. The bill has been made to cripple a lot of techies if passed and that's bad. It basically affects everyone who comes into contact with tech products as a professional

I wonder if they asked Aku AI the implications of the licensing and regulations section. It makes sense to enforce something like this in high stakes environment involving national data and infrastructure, but not on everything. In a digital world, certificates shouldn't be the standard! Designed A4 sheets don't move the world. History should tell you this🚶
