It will further ensure that high standards are maintained as far as the profession of engineering technologists and technicians is concerned. I want to say that we have several registration boards that cover and register different types of professions in Kenya. For example, we have the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and the Engineering Board of Kenya (ERB), among others. So, this Bill is actually intended to have a board to be among those listed in Kenya to regulate the profession of the engineering technologists and technicians. Currently, there is no registration body that is registering those types of professionals that exists in Kenya. In the 10th Parliament, a similar Bill was introduced in Parliament by Hon. (Dr.) Kones. However, the Parliament’s session lapsed. According to Standing Orders, once a Bill lapses along with the parliamentary session, it had to be re-started afresh. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker---"
