constitution of kenya review commission (ckrc ... - ConstitutionNet

to, according to the section, to terminate any case at any time before it is determined. This I believe, was enacted or inserted
by the colonial masters with a sinister motive. I propose that this section, the power of the AG be reduced and this section
which provides that he can terminate any case before it is determined, be reduced.
Interjection: Inaudible
Daniel Chege: There is a sub-section, it should remain but reduced. He should not have the power to terminate any case.
Interjection: Inaudible
Daniel Chege: But you see the section has three sub-sections. Sixth, Public Accountability. It is to our proposal that the
constitution should have a chapter dealing with public accountability of the government of the day and to achieve this, I propose
that the creation of a legal system be defined by the constitution. Where the voters may challenge the Member of Parliament
him of staying elected to parliament.
Speaker: The proposals.
Chege: I proposed that there be a creation of a record system where the voters may challenge for MPs and government
officials.
Interjection: Inaudible
Chege: For MPs and government officials. The civil servants, maybe the PS of the ministries because we are the citizens, we
pay tax, so we should have a right to question them as to what they are doing, the activities.
Seven. I will talk about land. But I believe that the government is the representative of the people and we have given them the
mandate to appoint the civil servants. So the right that we have given them, should be extended to us, calling them through a
conference like this and the government should arrange that we will call these civil servants.
Prof. Idha Salim: By what percentage of this group of people or what percentage of Kenyans should say why this PS should
be removed. In other words you said the PS can also be removed by the people, he should be recalled, as you put it, how
should that be done by the people, through a referendum, a meeting and even if we meet or hold the referendum what
percentage should decide whether that PS should be named or go.
Chege: A quorum will make, maybe fifty percentage of persons in the meeting should decide.
