Women engineers have been challenged to step beyond technical excellence and actively pursue leadership and political positions to ensure their expertise shapes national development and public policy.

Speaking at the 2nd Women Engineers Summit Gala Dinner in Nakuru, National Assembly Minority Whip Millie Odhiambo said women professionals must reject the culture of seeking approval and instead confidently claim spaces that men have traditionally dominated.

Ms Odhiambo argued that while women have made remarkable progress in engineering, they remain underrepresented in positions where critical decisions are made.
