“Punishment ranging  from publishing of names on the pages of newspapers, which might not be a good one, that they are not practicing well.

“Some  Will have their licenses  withdrawn for not practicing well and for those quacks, they  may go to jail. 

He threatened that the leadership of the association will  ensure that quacks parading themselves with  fake papers as surveyors are thrown to jail.

“We know that we have good punitive measures for any impersonation or somebody who is been portraying himself as one but not.

“We called on our members not to fall fowl of the professional ethics, rules and regulations.
