It’s becoming increasingly difficult for National government to work on county roads due to reduced budgets. KeRRA (if they will not be folded soon) will strictly package Class C roads allowing County govts to deal with their own problems. Limited options but value for money.

Maraga is Ruto’s Project to divide Gen Z votes. Matiang’i is Uhuru’s project to rebrand Jubilee. Wakisii still don’t have a candidate to consolidate their votes for political bargain. Sen. Onyonka has decided to remain a cartoonist, may be Bevalyne Kwamboka should step in.

A strategic decision provided counties are “rebranded professionally”. Most developed countries implemented this strategy long time ago.

In GoK Kenya resistance to change is at 99.49%. Elsewhere economies are in Digital Engineering (DE) but here those who make decisions are lethargic. Our embrace of IoT, cloud computing and AI in govt institutions is so pathetic that as it has been proved even prayers won’t help.

A few years ago we were excited with effecting liquidated damages from contractors due to time overruns until GoK became expert in delayed payments. Engineers became more of sympathizers than contract managers.

GoK paid road contractors 40% of pending bills to resume works in 30 days. Smarting with debts many contractors never moved even an inch back to site since the 40% payments had been recovered by banks due overdrafts. They are now expectantly waiting for 60% balances!

Not all infrastructure programs are for development. Many are for politics. Majority of stalled public infrastructure projects were not meant to be completed, there is no budget in the first place, but these had to be launched to attract votes.

Why is there shortage of highways engineering lecturers in our universities but we got a fairly good number in structural engineering?

In every department in a university there’s always this thorough Professor students tend to avoid as Supervisor in Thesis. Good thing is that once that particular Professor signs your report/proposal/thesis you are sure of graduating! There’s one at JKUAT Civil, guy is the goat!

Ago PHD students were required to create new knowledge. Does anyone know what PHDs are up to today with topics like, Impact of BodaBoda riders on Smes in Machakos County; ‘Evaluation of…., Influence of …… Assessment of……, Examining relationship between…..;

Sisi wa dini ya Msambwa, Jehovah Wanyonyi na our cousins Wakorino pia sisi tupewe space hapo Statehouse to build our church. We will not use any money from GoK coffers. Jirongo and Livondo will fund us.

Advancing engineering profession also involves discouraging organizations from asking engineering qualifications on non engineering functions. Yes!

You win a lot when you stay calm. Strategy is to get under your skin by passive aggression, concealed insults and subtle sarcasm. Stay calm and let the meeting end with your head high.
