    "content": "It is, indeed, true that there has been a gap. Some of the technologists are the ones doing most of the work. We still have a shortage of engineers in this country but the critical issue: What are the clear qualifications of technologists? We need to know. Is it a diploma, a higher diploma or a certificate? Which institutions of learning must they go through? They must go through accreditation. We know very well that there are so many colleges on the streets of Nairobi. Some colleges on Nairobi’s River Road and elsewhere in Kenya claim to be training engineers when we know that the difference between genuine engineering training and other technical training is like life and death. Many buildings are collapsing. Accrediting somebody who has not gone through proper training and giving him engineering design work is exposing people to a big risk. We must do opportunity cost and have a clear mandate for each category of specialists."
