Regulator Governs Market Competitor

This provision requires NITA to have board representation in a government-owned ICT infrastructure company that will compete with private businesses in data centers, cloud hosting, and digital identity services (32). This creates a fundamental conflict of interest: the same Authority that licenses and regulates private ICT businesses under 34 will govern their government-owned competitor. Private companies face asymmetric treatment where the regulator has a vested interest in favoring its own infrastructure entity, undermining fair competition and deterring private investment in ICT infrastructure.
