The attendance was not as much as last year’s last luncheon but the number was close to seventy engineers. The luncheon, hosted by the Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK) was introduced as a forum for engineers to meet and interact as well as discuss matters of interest relating to engineering in the country.
This year’s luncheon, graced by Eng.Joseph Njoroge as the chief guest- was themed “Raising construction standards for national development”. It was sponsored by the National Construction Authority (NCA).
NCA boss Architect Daniel Manduku called on engineers to make strides in the technology sector so as to provide solutions to the country’s contemporary problems such as urban congestion, improper infrastructure, substandard constructions among others.
The Chief Guest, Eng.Joseph Njoroge also pointed on the importance of setting standards in the construction sector especially at this point when the country has so much investments happening in the construction sector.
In a move to enhance the engineers welfare in the country, engineers were also called upon to register in the newly formed engineers Sacco dubbed Mhadisi Sacco.”This corporate society has been created in the spirit of welfare for engineers”, said Eng.J.M Riungu who is the current chairman of the IEK.
