L ooking ahead, ISK has a bright future but must pull up because the Achilles heel still remains the misconduct by rogue surveyors. The institution must enhance and enforce its professional ethics. This will promote an environment with minimal to no conduct of malpractice especially for new potential members who would be absorbed to an institutional culture that demands integrity. If we come out actively and aggressively to defend our profession and turf from destruction, ISK will surely earn the respect it deserves. CHAIRMAN CYPRIAN KIRERA RIUNGU Tenure: 7TH JUNE 1991 – 21ST MAY 1994 I believe that the future of the surveying industry is bright because it connects to both development and infrastructure. Therefore, as development in the country continues to take shape, the surveying industry will as well continue to soar. To ensure longevity, ISK should work towards raising the standards of education in institutions to encourage students to take up surveying related courses. In order for us to ensure that students enrol for survey courses, we must develop a good image of the profession by encouraging ethical practice as well as being at the forefront of conversations on land issues. CHAIRMAN DAVID KANYUGA MACOCO Tenure: 21ST MAY 1994 – 10TH MAY 1997 T he institution needs a lot of support from the government and other key stakeholder entities in raising the profile of the profession. To do this, it must first ensure stronger codes of ethics among its members. This to-date remains the biggest detractor to its prosperity.
