CONSTITUTION OF KENYA REVIEW ... - ConstitutionNet

a ceremonial queen. Uria umenyaga ati ndagererwo ku-intefere ma thirikari. No ithue tutiri na that history. Watweka
mutongoria ni watweka koigi. Ithe tigwo tugaga. Kogwo tutimutwete ceremonial president, no ni tu-separatete
powers ciake, na tugakiuga thirikari no mohaka I-run, powers icio inge inengerwo prime minister. Kogwo ni
tugecreatete postion ya prime minister ouria Kenyans moigire. Prime minster arorage thirikari, nake president atweke
president wa bururi we wothe na tukoiga president ndagerewo ni gukorwo na constituency o-uria Kenyans moigiri.
Agererwo ni guthurwo direct by the Kenyans nigetha atweke a national symbol. Atigage gukorwo arachoka
constituency yake as a president, that constituency irepresentwo ni mundu unge.
So we have done that in our new draft and if you look at some of the pages, you will find that we have reduced the powers of
the president. Like many Kenyans said he must not be above the law. kogwo ni tu-provideete tukoiga, president kwaja
angeka maundu atagererwo ni kweka moru. Tariu angiuka uye mugunda wakwa, unakorwo ni president, nijagererwo
nikumutwara igotini. Riu law niiroiga no umuthitange. Na kuri maundu mange angeka a-impeach-wo na uoime as
president. So he is not above the law.
Uhoro wa local government ni twarangetie, na andu maheanete maoni macoverete makiria ya ngiri igere. Local
government nayo, andu aingi ni monaga councillors ainge tiathomu, matitekaga responsibility, there is a lot of
grabbing. Na ninge local government nayo ndiri na powers na nimarenda more powers. Councillors makoragwo
maki-managewo ni local authorities, and local authorities has taken more powers. So, what we have done with the
local government is tukeheria powers nyingi kuma kwe central government, then we have created what we are calling
a district council, call it equivalent of local authorities. Riu district council icio which is composed of councillors aria
megothurwo na no muhaka makorwo mari a form four. Riu nao acio councillors nio megutweka parliament ya
district. Riu matweka parliament ya district, nitugokorwo na executive arm of that district council. That executive
arm, igutongorio ni mundu wetagwo district administrator. Now, district administrator nake egothurwo directly ni
andu, nigetha the two arms of the local government or as the district council, you have the policy making body and the
implementing making body. Like what you have at the central government. Wena thirikari iria irahetwo ni prime
minister, na wena parliament na parliament niyo I-mikaga mawatho. In the same way, district councils nicio ci-kumake
mawatho, nacio the executive arm ya district ika-implement mawatho macio.
Constitution ni irinonania ati, district councils ikorwo inapowers. Nio mariandekaga arimu, nio mariandikaga borithi,
nio mariandikaga civil servants within their own districts, na nimare-collectaga taxes, although now the discussion is
on about how much taxes you will be able to collect; nigetha district ikoragwo ina mbeca cia kugoria district yao.
Akorwo ni borithi aria manedetwo ni district, magatweka accountable kuri andu aria me in the district. So there will
also be a district service commission. now, district service commission ni igutake responsibility ya kuandika andu.
Tondu angu ainge ni mara-complain ati unagutiri mundu umenyaga uhoro wa unemployment within the district. Angi
magacomplain that they do not know how people are hired and so on. But also it means akorwo ni andu makuria
