Speaking at the Media Launch of the 33rd IEK International Convention at the Nairobi Serena Hotel, ACEK President Eng. Gabriel Jabong’o addressed delegates under the theme “Intelligent Systems for Accelerated and Sustainable Growth.”

He noted that intelligence is only as strong as the profession behind it, and that Kenya risks investing heavily in intelligent systems while weakening the very profession that designs and supervises them.

ACEK’s key messages:

• Full project involvement: Developers, contractors and regulators should engage registered engineers throughout the project lifecycle, respect their supervisory role, and enforce regulations and approval requirements.
• Fairer contracts: Procuring entities and professionals should explore where time-based engagement best serves the public interest.
• Independent oversight: Internal teams and independent consultants should work side by side, each contributing what it does best.
• Ethical practice: Consulting engineers must uphold ethical standards and hold the line on safety, because safety is not negotiable.
• The next generation: Engineering students, graduate engineers and women engineers should have space to learn, lead and be heard.

He also called on IEK, ACEK, sister professional bodies, government, the private sector and academia to work as one fraternity.

ACEK congratulates the @TheIEK on a bold and timely theme and pledges its support in making the Convention a success.

Join us at the 33rd IEK International Convention from 24th to 27th November 2026 at PrideInn Paradise Beach Resort, Mombasa.

MULTI-SECTORAL ENGAGEMENT ON BUILDING SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

ACEK joined leaders from across Kenya's built environment and construction sectors at a multi-sectoral stakeholders' meeting convened by the National Construction Authority (NCA) today at its headquarters in Upper Hill, Nairobi.

ACEK was represented by our President, Eng. Jabongo, and Council Member Eng. Aluoch.

The meeting focused on recent developments, including the Eastleigh building collapse, and ongoing compliance challenges, particularly in Nairobi.

Our thoughts are with all those affected by the collapse. Tackling this menace will take a collective effort, and ACEK remains committed to working with NCA and other industry partners to promote safer, compliant construction across Kenya.
