Mombasa County Executive Committee (CEC) Member for Transport and Infrastructure Daniel Manyala has called on property developers to engage only engineers certified and registered by the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) to ensure structural integrity and compliance with building regulations.
Speaking at Pembe za Ndovu in Mombasa, where he led the walk to commemorate World Engineering Day, Manyala emphasized the critical role of structural engineers in the building approval process while warning that many buildings collapsed as a result of unqualified personnel.
He stressed the need for strict compliance with engineering standards, stating that authorities would ensure all procedures are followed and take action against those attempting to bypass regulations.
He emphasized the critical role of engineering in sustainable urban development as he commended the initiative for inspiring the next generation of professionals and assured the County Government's commitment to partner with the Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK) as they laboured to mentor young engineers.
