    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. The prima facie or major objective has to do with standard controls both in training and performance. I am taking into consideration the fact that Kenya is a developing country and does not have sufficient engineers. There are other global best practises that are compliant with this Bill. Taking the real world situation, what I find is that those technologists are the real workers. Being the real workers, then regulation will be very important. I have also taken into consideration that they are the same people who give “after sales” services. Once a building has been done, you will find the same technicians going back to check it. It is for this reason that there could be a possibility of conflict of interest between the known engineers and the technicians. Once this Bill is passed and the Board is there, then those people will have representation. I have also seen it in my accounting profession where we have people who did the accountants national certificate of the lower cadre and the Kenya Accounting Technicians Certificate (KATC). The workers are the KATC holders. We, who are like the engineers of accounting, opposed their registration but when we recognised them and amended the Accountants Act, it never worked and today you look for an accountant and not for an accounting technician. In such an important industry such as engineering, that problem will be better addressed with a new law. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
