    "content": "get them. We have Vision 2030 where we need engineers to do our projects like the Tatu City and the digital cities we are doing, the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor Project. All these will require engineers. But you find that because we do not have a body which regulates and stipulates who should do this work and what shares the Kenyan market should get or the Kenyan experts should get, we end up importing engineers all the way from China and other countries whereas we have qualified engineers who could be doing this job perfectly and reinvest the same in our country. In this one, the Board will help develop talents. They can keep track record of the engineers, like they do for doctors. We have doctors who are renowned in this country because they have a board which keeps track of them. They have a board which knows what one is experienced in. You can at least direct the right clients to the right engineers who have already done a job which has already been proved and checked and seen to be satisfactory. As at now, you find that most of the time, once engineers leave school, they just come up and start doing their own work. When you track what that person has been doing, nobody can give you those statistics. We do not have that database for the same, but I believe that Board will also be able to give us this opportunity to get to know exactly who is perfect in this or the other one. Therefore, it will enhance accountability and transparency in this industry. I support. Thank you."
