• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, listening to hon. Mureithi, I do not think hon. Gumbo said that the profession of surveyors is generic. It is the use of the word “survey”. I had opportunity to look at this Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary which gives me the meaning of the word “survey” as a noun as (1) An investigation of the opinion, behavior of a particular group of people which is usually done by asking them questions.

• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we are proposing this amendment so that we can have an institution that will be providing services on engineering and technology. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you have heard the hon. Member say that I have reservations on part (d) of his amendment. We discussed and agreed that we leave it out. I have just seen it back on the Order Paper. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, these regulations could be administrative issues. I was pleading with the hon.

• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is already taken care of in the management of the Board itself. So, the Board will take care of it. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I have no objection. It is a worthy proposal. view
• 30 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support the amendment in that according to Eng. Gumbo, to me, it looks like only in respect to engineering services. The way I saw it is that the engineers are placing themselves in strict discipline; in strict professional conduct. That is the way I saw that provision, and when I looked at it, I said fair enough.

This is because it is already taken care of within the functions. I thought he was amplifying the functions of the Board. Mine is on the discipline of the engineers. view
