Women engineers have been urged to take the lead in developing innovative solutions to Kenya's biggest challenges, including affordable housing, clean energy, climate resilience and artificial intelligence.
Speaking on behalf of First Lady Rachel Ruto during the Second Women Engineers Summit in Nakuru, her Chief of Staff Mary Mwende said the country needed more women to help shape engineering solutions that improve lives and drive sustainable development.
"The future is not something we inherit. It is something we engineer," she said. She said Kenya's ambitions in affordable housing, food security, universal access to clean energy and digital transformation would only be realised through engineering innovation.
