"content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, listening to hon. Mureithi, I do not think hon. Gumbo said that the profession of surveyors is generic. It is the use of the word “survey”. I had opportunity to look at this Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary which gives me the meaning of the word “survey” as a noun as (1) An investigation of the opinion, behavior of a particular group of people which is usually done by asking them questions. (2) The act of examining and recording of the measurements, which I think is land survey. The other meaning is taking by population survey. (3) An examination of the conditions of a house usually done for somebody who is thinking of buying and (4), a general study, view or description of something. I have a lot of respect and I think they have used the right words “land survey”. We are simply saying engineering survey, population survey and disease survey. If we are now going to place the word “survey” under protection, it means it cannot be used by any other person anywhere else. I want to plead and persuade the Members that so long as they describe survey as land survey, we will describe our engineering as engineering survey. Those are two professionals carrying out some surveys for a people."
