Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I hear the Leader of the Minority within the Majority Party is saying that I am Tangatanga, but he knows that being a Leader of the Majority within the Majority Party, then I need to tangatanga .

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill with reservations. I want to join a number of my colleagues that I heard during the contributions point out some of the things that I would really want to talk about. Let me also take this opportunity to thank Hon. Pkosing because he is now a listening Chair. He has listened to the Members' sentiments and he knows the problems we had with the Bill before, especially on the question of relegating engineering professionals almost to second fiddle within the roads agency in this country. I must really commend him ...

KeRRA or KeNHA, that a young engineer who has just graduated and is newly registered, has a career growth path that would see him head that institution. That is what creates loyalty within organisations and Government institutions. It is something that we need to do so as to encourage even the young people who are undertaking internship programmes within the public sector. We need them to know that someone can join KeNHA today as an intern while studying engineering, and one day, post-qualification and post registration with the Engineers Board, can head any of the roads’ agencies.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the reservations that I have on this Bill touch on a matter that Hon. Osotsi commented on, that is, the question of post qualification. First is the degree and it is good because it now stipulates that you must hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering, and a master’s degree from a university recognised in Kenya. In my view, that proposal on universities recognised in Kenya and any master’s degree is too broad. I was just trying to tell the Chair here to listen to us that we need to tweak this a little bit to ...

I am an accountant by training and a student of economics. I think he may have misunderstood me. I indicated that maybe marketing may not be very relevant to this particular job.

Hon. Wangwe does not intend, post-retirement, to go back to KeRRA, KeNHA or KURA. I also hope that your retirement does not come soon. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was speaking on the question of registration with the Engineers Board of Kenya. It is important to have, at least, 15 years’ experience with, at least, 10 years’ post-registration experience. I would really want to implore the Chair to support me as I intend to bring an amendment to retain that. It is important to have 15 years’ post-registration experience in road engineering and its management and, at least, 15 years ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know Hon. Pkosing is still in West Pokot. He is yet to come back to the House. In this House, when I stand on a point of order, I am not really interrupting. I just want to mention that he said that, indeed, parts of these proposals were done in the 11th Parliament and that Bill died in the Senate. I wish to remind him that as much as he says I was among those who passed those amendments, at the time the Roads Bill was discussed in the House, I was outside the country. ...

Is Hon. Pkosing misinforming the country that I was part of those who passed that proposal that I am now opposing? If he consulted with Hon. Kamanda, he would tell him that even in the 11th Parliament, I was opposed to a five-year term. I remain opposed to a five-year term.
