    "content": "Can I proceed, please? Hon. Wanyonyi, can you allow me to talk, please? We have given you adequate time. I wanted to say that the Government is now coming up with many buildings. We have seen the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). Many dams are going to be built. Many buildings are being constructed in this country. When the architect hands over the building, we are supposed to hand it over to a building surveyor, who will take care of it from completion, ensure that maintenance is done regularly and coordinate whatever is happening in that building. This is something I would also prescribe to the private sector. As one of our colleagues has said, most of the buildings which are done in the private sector are not supervised within time. That is why when you go to Biashara Street, you find very old buildings which have not been painted for a long time. I am sure if we had building surveyors, they would advise the landlords on how to deal with those buildings. That is why we should enact this Bill so that in future, we can have beautiful cities and counties. Going forward, we should see many of them going to practise in the private sector. In conclusion, thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill."
