    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to move this Bill. First, I would like to assure the House that, as you communicated earlier, there was further consultation. This is because during the public participation, some members of the public thought that we should not open it to other professions. I want to assure the House this afternoon that, through public participation and consultation, that has been removed and the Bill is retained as it is with or without the proposed amendments. The import is that the Director Generals, as it is provided for in the Bill for Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA), Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), shall be retained as engineers. That is the bottom line. That is to allay the fears of the public, members of the Engineers’ Board of Kenya who appeared before the Committee, and all the other participants. This is the thought of Kenyans. There was a reason which I will prosecute later, but, first things first. This is a preserve of engineers. Secondly, this Bill is proposing only three amendments: (i) A provision, which is in this clause, which is amending the 2007 Act of the term of director-generals to move it from three years to five years. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
