Today is a sad and unfortunate day as the
court of appeal made a judgement to
destroy the lives, careers and future of all
the young dynamic and professionally
talented generation of engineers in Kenya.
Vision 2030 has just been postponed again
by blurring it's attainment simply by denying
the competent young brains with big
visions for this country from practicing what
they know best.
It wasn't our choice to be selected by JAB to
join the university they placed us in?! Was it
our fault being born bright to qualify for
engineering degree programmes at the
selected university?!
Was I the accrediting officer for the
universities and the curriculum claimed to
be inefficient?!
Why would the government spend do much
sponsoring us through the universities only
to turn its back on us yet still compel us to
pay back HELB Loans?!
Isn't it puzzling that the same government
arms don't recognize each other?! Why
would the professional body's ACT
contradict that of the University?!
If we weren't competent enough, why do
the same guys employ us to do engineering
designs for them?!
What happens with this whole generation
of bright engineers by training who have
been denied practicing licences hence
denied a livelihoods?
What's the next step now that the judicial
system has just trashed their dreams living
then venerable and hopeless in life yet with
so much engineering brain power at their
disposal?!
If their training is invalidated, shouldn't the
Helb loans they have been loyal in repaying
too be invalidated, universities be compelled
to refund them at the current value all
expenses they incurred to attain the degree,
and the government too be compelled to
compensate them for wasting their precious
time at the government sponsored
universities whose degree programmes lead
to no where?!
What's the future for the young brilliant men
and women at the university pursuing the
same degree programmes, are they doomed
too and should they stop and change to
other courses to avoid wasting their time
and future?!
What is the government doing to remedy
the situation at hand?!
