    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, looking at the First Schedule, Parts I and II, the Minister has listed the nominating bodies to the Board. I think you have left out a critical consumer of construction services. I think we should have a representative from local authorities. That is because there is a lot of construction both in building and roads that go on within local authorities. Take Nairobi, for example. I believe about 60 to 70 percent of the construction in this country is in Nairobi. If you are having Architectural Association of Kenya, Institute of Engineers, Institution of QSs, Law Society of Kenya, I think we should have the Nairobi City Council (NCC), for example, represented on that Board, so that they can be able to give first hand, either excellent examples or frustrations that they go through with construction. On simple things like how to protect constructions sites, the Board needs to look at that. Simple things as to how to vacate the site once they finish the construction--- Some contractors just finish with the site and they do not restore the excavations. They do not do anything. They just walk away. The local authorities that consume those services should be given an opportunity to serve on that board."
