    "content": "Fast forward to the 1970s, unfortunately the East Africa Community collapsed and Kenya passed a Science and Technology Act, Cap.250, with the mandate to conduct research on industrial and applied technology, which included civil engineering, mechanical engineering, textile technology, electrical engineering, mining, power resources, chemical engineering, industrial chemical food technology, ceramics clay technology and all those things. With the collapse of the East African Community, Kenya had to continue moving on with research and industrial development initiatives. This continued until 2013. In cleaning up most of those laws, especially within the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Science and Technology Act was repealed. The Institute was then reverted to the Ministry of Industrialisation, Trade and Enterprise Development. It is currently domiciled there. Although it is managed by a Board of Directors and has a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of the Institute, it does not have the status of a semi-autonomous Government agency that would delink it from the day-to-day emasculation by the Ministry on its decision making."
