Irresponsible in my view from a public servant. Going by the same logic, no owes the country any taxes.

This video is a call for help.
My mum is battling with stroke, and it is slowly taking her life. She needs urgent medical funds to stay alive, and I cannot do this alone anymore. Please, if you have it in your heart to help or retweet this to someone who can, I beg of you 🤲🏻🙏
So irresponsible. Foul language shouldn’t be an option.
This is an important one. Understanding fundamentals goes a long way in making the ride easier. I highly encourage anyone starting with it to purely design manually through hand calculations before transitioning to softwares.
I’ve interacted with many clients who are know it all. I do my part of telling them what should be done and I leave. Some end up incurring serious losses. Some clients are very genuine but end up in the wrong hands unknowingly. We continue spreading the gospel of professionalism.
Are you people sure you are currently not building your houses or you just don’t want me to build for you?
The bad image of Kenya’s Structural Engineers that the Eastleigh building collapse has painted in the global map will take some time to erase. People will generalize the incompetence and have that cross on the back of every structural engineer.
When Daudi takes hold of the ball, he must score. He’s not known for missing shots especially close range @DavidNdii
But why is he still at 91% and man Stevo at 4%. The siting arrangement didn’t add votes to man Stevo? I wonder
Center can no longer hold. Nearly everyone there is speaking this language now. Time for the formation to eat their humble pie and work under Sifuna.
Or has this been a game all along? Paul Mwangi mentioned that Raila being the complex political character he was had an exit plan.

THE ENGINEER: Education, Training, Professional growth, Membership and Professional Registration by @EngineersBoard , @TheIEK and @ACEK1968
1. One is required to complete a 5 yr accredited engineering degree from a university.
2. While at the university you may apply for membership as a student Engineer
3. On successful completion of the university (5yrs) you MUST apply for registration as a graduate engineer (GE). You will need a Proposer and a Seconder (Must be Professional Engineer in relevant field).
This is normally the first stage of loosing it! Most guys after university will be employed or start businesses with huge profits and forget about professional development!
4. On the 6th year- As a GE you start a new journey of “Training and Experience” for another 3 years, under mentorship of a Professional Engineer.
5. At end of 8 yr (5 class + 3 field) your are required to write 2 reports (training and experience, normally called Part 1 & 2) to aid your transition from Graduate Engineer (GE) to Professional Engineer (PE)
You SHALL submit these reports to the Board @EngineersBoard of Kenya or @TheIEK forwarded under “Application for Interview for Professional Engineer” cover.
The Board will review your submission and decide whether umeiva ama hujaiva. You will likely be called for the interview if you have met the requirements (5 yr degree, 3 yr experience, adequate training)
6. Earliest, in the 9th year you will appear for an ORAL interview before a panel of not less than 3 engineers (PEs or CEs). These will interrogate your education, training, experience and if they see umeiva (you are okey), you’ll be scheduled for a closed book written exam on the same day. Should they feel you are not ready, you may not be invited for the written examination
7. Hopefully in the 9th year the results will be out and you will be confirmed A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER (PE).
This is the time a person is “Engineer”.
When you (developer) or Public is looking for an “Engineer”, you are looking for a Person at 9th year minimum.
There are not as many Kenyans in this stage, about 4,000 only in all engineering disciplines.
Engineers who are Experts at Building Construction (Structural Engineers) are barely 800 in the entire Country. These are CIVIL ENGINEERS with bias in structural engineering. Other Civil Engineers are in roads, water, sanitation, bridges, foundations, railway etc).
Understand: out of the 4000 Professional Engineers, nearly 2000 are Civil Engineers. From the 2000 Civil Engineers about 800 are experts at buildings (structural engineers).
8. After 16 years, On completion of active practice for 7 years as a Professional Engineer (PE), in the 8th year one may apply for upgrading to become a Consulting Engineer. This entails submission of a report and invitation for an interview by @EngineersBoard . The applicant requires a proposer and a seconder both consulting engineers.
You will sit an oral interview before a panel of not less than 3 consulting engineers
9. You may pass of fail, but that we leave to God. When you PASS you become a Professional Consulting Engineer, You effectively upgrade from PE to CE (5 +3+ 7=15) min if you are a cool kid (never the case). Must prove you have assured society. Kenya has about 500 consulting engineers (CEs) in all engineering disciplines!
10. At this time (after 7 yrs as PE) you may apply to @TheIEK Institution of Engineers of to upgrade from a CORPORATE MEMBER to a FELLOW MEMBER. Must prove you have assisted society. Need 2 proposers and 2 Seconders, all Fellows. Not as many though, about 250 in Kenya.
11. After this progression (Fellow Membership not a requirement), you may register an engineering Consulting Firm and APPLY for Membership to the ASSOCIATION OF CONSULTING ENGINEERS OF KENYA @ACEK1968
There are about 165 Engineering consulting firms in Kenya.
12. Yours truly has covered the entire Journey.
~have a Progressive day.
