    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support. It is common knowledge that sometimes back, we formed the National Construction Authority (NCA) which was mandated to oversight, not only the engineers, but also the contractors and regulate what they do. The purpose of having NCA was to oversight the private enterprises that engage in construction industry and ensure that they adhere to the standard. As Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said, corruption has destroyed the construction industry. The role of NCA which was supposed to be regulating license and even the artisans has been rendered useless because quacks have gotten a way of getting licenses. That is how we end up getting substandard works because we fail to put punitive measures for those who have found culpable. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we move to the journey of making Kenya be in line with other countries which are developing by maintaining standards, we must also make sure that we put the legislative framework in place to reinforce the work of NCA. I support and we need to do a lot."
