    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill, 2021. I also want to take this opportunity to thank my Chair. I serve as the Vice-Chair in the Committee. Road sector is key. If you go to a country and find the transport system not in order, it is said that that country is not doing well. Road sector which serves almost 100 per cent of a country needs to be headed by the people who have passed through the system which has been set in our country. I will start by supporting the bachelor’s degree which has been set and the master’s degree. For sure, the civil engineers go to the university for five years and not four years like other degrees. Even if other courses have part time, I do not think civil engineering have it. You will not even get holiday based system. They go throughout the year for five years. Civil engineering degree is quite technical and for the master’s degree, it is from a recognised university in Kenya or one that is recognised in Kenya. It is also quite essential because you must have a degree in Civil Engineering; one in Strategic Management or anything to do with the Project management and Administration. The point where the engineers must be registered by the board is also a factor to consider, and I support. Also from three to five years… Can I remove my mask?"
