• 27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Let us support this Bill and also look at it critically. Hon. Jamleck Kamau, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information, gave us the Report. We should look at that Report, because they have handled the Bill for a long time, to see how we can amend the Bill and make it consistent with international practice, and also take into account the needs of this nation. With those few remarks, I beg to support view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me thank the Chairman for that good report. However, we are aware that there are constituencies that did not get their full disbursements for last year. Can we be assured that for the monies that will come, the first chance will be given to those constituencies that have balances from last year? view
• 1 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House, today Thursday, 1st October, 2015:- The Report of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing on the Engineering Technologists and Technicians Bill, 2015. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. This is a very interesting Bill in the sense that it is necessary first, to regulate the activities of technicians and technologists. It is important that those people are recognized and regulated by a regulating body. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: It is also interesting because this Bill is also a replica of the Engineers Act. It also regulates the engineers body. Reference to engineers in this Bill is actually a complete replica of what we have in the other Act. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: It is also true that in 2011, the Engineers Act was amended and a new Act was enacted which then removed the provision for registration of technicians. At that time, the provision was for the registration of technicians who were actually holders of diplomas and Higher National Diplomas. Kenya has since then entered another era where we are actually training students and professionals who have got Bachelor of Technology and Bachelor of Technicians degrees which were not there before. So, this is a very important time when the education sector in this country is making some advances in engineering technology. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: But first, one thing we want to look at in this particular Bill is this: One would think that the best way to approach this is to amend the Engineers Act and accommodate all the requirements of technologists and technicians. From the submissions you get from various stakeholders, this Bill comes out of frustrations people in the technicians and technologists cadre are facing with the Engineering Board. But must we make laws every time we get frustrations with a particular institution or another body? Is it not the job of this particular House to enact laws that can actually accommodate ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: I am a professional engineer. I know the thinking that is behind this and I know the concerns the Board has. But for the interest of this country, it can be best served--- view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: We have looked at this Bill. We had a stakeholders’ meeting from the Engineers Board and the institution of technicians. We also met the public. There are various views that were brought to us. What we realized is that every particular body has its own 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. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: view on this matter to the extent that you see a lot of disharmony within the professions outside there. So, we in the Committee think that the best way to harmonize this is to amend the Engineers Act 2011 because we are the lawmakers ourselves. It is not the Engineers Board or the technicians that make laws. It is we who make laws. We as Parliament should take over this matter and amend the Engineers Act so that we can accommodate the requirement of the profession in totality. That is the view of this Committee. view
