To that effect, the treasury issued a circular to direct the use of valuers as the only experts mandated to value property and should be well compensated. At the time, clerks and accountants and other organisations were being used as land surveyors. In partnership with the government, ISK implemented the marking of roads that had been marked for construction across the country. This move helped in building public awareness that development would take place in the future to prevent illegal settlements.

The council encouraged many local chapters in Kenya to hold their own conferences for their members. 2008 first african fig chair (commision 8) - wafula nabutola 11.
