Chege: He should be appointed among the puny judges.
Com. Tobiko: By whom?
Chege: By the Judicial Service Commission because the puny judges are appointed by the Judicial Service Commission, so
when we have the puny judges, we should elect them or appoint them amongst them by the president. Because these days in
this current Constitution the president may wake up one day and elect or appoint anybody he feels that he is suitable for that
post.
Com. Adagala: Huyo alikuwa wakili kwa wakili wao wawili, wanaelewana kwa vilema. If a president is not an MP, say you
have provided for the runner up to be vice president, what about the other presidential candidates?
Chege: According to the present arrangement, the presidential candidate who lose are not accounted for.
Com. Adagala: Now, affirmative action all over the world is one third. You wanted to be one fourth, if you say affirmative
action, it translates to one third.
Chege: But the number, if it is a third it is okay but what I am proposing is that I would like to see affirmative action in our
cabinet. It is a pathetic condition.
Com. Adagala: But you see I am telling you if you say affirmative action, universally it is understood to be one third, but you
want it one fourth, so it is something else.
Chege: Call it that way, because a third is a minimal number.
Com. Adagala: Secondly, affirmative action is a not just for women, it is also for other minority or disempowered people, do
you have any thoughts of other people who are disempowered?
Chege: About disables people I would recommend that we have a representative, the nominated members of parliament who
are appointed by the president should follow under that category. We should have at least six nominated members of
parliament who are to represent the disabled.
Com. Adagala: And other minority?
Interjection: Inaudible
