The "Engineers Bill 2009" will not improve the profession; Engineers
Registration Board - www.erbk.go.ke - and Institutions of Engineers of Kenya
(IEK) - www.iekenya.org. (see attachment)

The profession needs a more progressive legislation enabling easier and
faster registration; convenient payment systems for subscription fees;
continuing education and less inhibiting bureaucracy. The new legislation
should improve the quality of engineers.


1. *Cabinet approved Engineers Bill 2009 on 30th of June, 2010*
The engineering profession is also headed for a shake-up, with the approval
of the Engineers Bill 2009 which if enacted will regulate the engineering
profession through registration and training.

It will allow for mandatory annual licensing of practising engineers,
regulation of all engineering consulting firms, establishment of the scale
of fees for engineering professional services and the promotion of ethical
practices and good governance in engineering works and services.

*2. It was alluded to by the Roads Minister in Parliament on 25th of August,
2010*
*Mr. Bett:* Asante, Bwana Naibu Spika. Hilo ni swali nzuri sana. Hivi
karibuni,
nitawasilisha Mswada hapa Bungeni; *Engineers Bill*. Ninawaomba Wabunge
wapitishe
Mswada huo. Uhandisi ni muhimu sana kwa utekelezaji wa barabara. Kwa hivyo,
tumeunda sheria ya kuhakikisha kwamba mhandisi ambaye anafanya kazi katika
sehemu
fulani anatii sheria hiyo na anakuwa na heshima kwa kazi yake. Pili, wakati
kazi
inaendelea kwa barabara, inabidi mhandisi huyo afanye kazi jinsi
inavyotakikana bila
kuchelewa. Hivyo ndivyo ilivyo katika sheria hiyo. Ninaomba Wabunge
wapitishe
Mswada huu utakapowasilishwa hapa Bungeni ili tuwe na barabara nzuri.
