Kenya (ISK) as part of participating in the UN-HABITAT Governing Council
Meeting in Nairobi, 13-20 April, see

The visit to ISK included a lecture at the University of Nairobi on
Thursday 19th April. The lecture was attended by 200 surveying students and
all key surveying staff as well as key persons from ISK and the surveying
profession. After a range of introductory speeches President Enemark
presented a lecture on the future of the surveying profession entitled “From
Measurement to Management”. The lecture was followed by a small
reception where President Enemark had the opportunity to meet and discuss
with the students.
In the evening of Thursday 19th April the ISK had arranged a reception at
the Stanley Hotel attended by around 100 members of the profession. Speeches
were given by the Chairman of ISK Mwenda Makathimo and FIG President
Stig Enemark. The reception provided for the opportunity to meet and discuss
with the Kenyan surveyors covering all of the FIG disciplines.
At the same day the new Kenyan Land Policy was published in the daily
newspaper. This was quite a coincidence since ISK has had a very strong
input in designing this policy. ISK has also engaged heavily in solving some
of the key land issues related to informal settlements and pro poor land
management. By undertaking these tasks ISK has shown a responsibility to
society that deserves great attention and respect.
