Architects have complained of not being utilized in the country. Speaking during a dinner held at Serena Hotel by the engineer’s chapter of the Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK), architect Stephen Oundo said that they had sent proposals to the different constituencies to carry out projects under CDF for free but only 16 responded positively.

 

AAK members had teamed up to take up a development project in each constituency  after the president had last year expressed his concern at the seemingly high fees charged by professionals in the built environment. They thus resolved to take up a project in each of the constituencies in order to show Kenyans the value for money in the design in terms of aesthetics, structural integrity and the timely completion of these projects.They were to carry out the projects without charging any professional fees.

“The trial project, the refurbishment of Karen Police Station in Lang’ata Constituency is already under construction and expected to finish by the end of this year”, said Eng.Nathaniel Matalanga in his speech during the dinner.

Another event being done by the team is the refurbishment of the Kabete stadium.
