    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, once this is law enacted, it will spell the death of the pretenders and the quacks. There is a provision under Chapter 3(1) of this Bill for the establishment of the Engineers Registration Board. This is the one that will enforce this Bill; the Engineers Registration Board. The Board has been mandated under this new law to set standards for engineers; standards in the area of management, standards in marketing, standards in safety, standards on environment issues and more importantly standards on professional ethics and integrity. This is very important. Therefore, this Board has been mandated to issue, maintain and enforce a code of ethics for engineers and will also be mandated to regulate their conduct. This is very important, because we cannot judge the performance of engineers and evaluate them, if there are no standards. But once standards are set, then we know that we can evaluate and access the performance of the engineers. This is why I say this is a very important Bill. It has been brought a little late, but nevertheless, it is on this Floor and I urge Members of this House to consider it seriously and see it through into law."
