The Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport, Kipchumba Murkomen, has inaugurated the Women In Construction (WIC) Forum, 2023 at Barabara Plaza.

The Forum is organized by the Ministry in conjunction with the President’s Women Rights Advisor, led by Harriette Chiggai.

This year’s theme, Female Led, Female Built, Female Powered, emphasizes the need to encourage more women to enter the construction industry as well as spur women led entities and players to shape the industry’s future.

Speaking during the event, CS Murkomen noted that despite being 51 pc of the Kenyan population, only 3 pc of artisans are women while a paltry 7.3 pc of engineers registered by the Engineers Board of Kenya.

Adding that only 15.5 pc of contractors, and 17 pc of registered quantity surveyors are women.

´To review the status of this sector and make it more accommodating for women, my Ministry, in collaboration with the Office of the Advisor to the President on Women Rights, have the pleasure of inaugurating this year’s Women in Construction Forum 2023, under the theme Female Led, Female Built, Female Powered.´ Said CS Murkomen.
