Engineers have been urged to take a firm stand against corruption, amid warnings that unethical conduct within the profession poses a serious threat to Kenya’s economic stability, infrastructure development and public trust.
Speaking during the Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK) annual gala dinner in Nairobi, Dr David Oginde, chairperson of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Committee, cautioned engineers against becoming conduits of corruption, likening the vice to termites that silently destroy structures from within.
