I also notice that in this Bill there is no requirement for the Director-General of either the KeNHA or the KeNSRA to be a registered engineer. That is disrespect of our own laws. We recently passed the Kenya Engineers Board Act, an Act of Parliament. We have put very high standards of what a registered engineer should be. In fact, you are not recognised as an engineer in this country unless you become a professional engineer or a registered consulting engineer. That is an omission which we have to include in the amendments. It is not a must that the fact that you have 15-year experience that you have to be a registered professional engineer or a registered consulting engineer. That is an omission that we need to include in the amendments as we move forward."}
