The Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) has warned Kenyans to desist from using the term “Engineer” or "Eng" before their names if they are not active members of the lobby, terming it as amounting to impersonation.

EBK, which is mandated with registration of engineers and engineering consulting firms, said it had noted with concern that many people were describing themselves as engineers despite not being registered to practice.
