Circumcision of girls: I have ben a nurse for some time. When God created a man, he created him in full capacity of living. To
circumcise a girl, is just being fooled, and that is not proper. Let it be put in the law, since customs are not the same. There are
those peole who want to be circumcised, and those who don’t. Let the Law provide for both sides. For those who are
educated, they know circumcision is not good, and so if any of them circumcises a girl, then, he should be prosecuted. For
those who are not educated, they should be educated, in order to avoid the practice.
Com. Lenaola: Last point.
Erastus Mrukunga: Yes. In relation to the law of forests, let the Government officers protect the specific forests and not for
individuals as in our shambas here, because incase you want to cut a tree, you are asked for a permit, and this permit has no
receipt. Let the Government protect the forest in specific areas like Mount Kenya or Nyambene, and not the rural areas.
Lastly to complete, Mr. Commissioner, we have been independent now, for 38 years. If there was proper management,
mwananchi could get a salary of Kshs.600 without working, because he has worked through the taxes he has been paying for
living. God bless you.
Com. Lenaola: Thank you very much Mzee Mrukunga. Councilor Solomon Mutungi.
Coun. Solomon Mutungi: Asante sana Commissioners. Majina yangu ni Councilor Solomon Mutungi, Meru County
Council.
Nitaanza kwa kusema ya kwamba, ninashukuru kwa maana mmekuja hapa kuchukua maoni yetu. Ya kwanza, street children,
au chokoraa; Ningefikiria kuwa Serikali ingejenga institutions ambazo hawa watoto wangepelekwa, ili wasomeshwe na wawe
wa manufaa kwa wananchi wa Kenya.
Political Parties: – Ningefikiria kuwe na Political Parties ambazo sio zaidi ya tano, katika Kenya.
Education: – Ningefikiria kuwe na free education kwa kila Mkenya, kutoka Standard one mpaka Form four. Kwa hiyo ingine,
kunafaa kuwe na ma-loans.
Judges: – Ningefikiria ma-judges wote na Magistrates wawe wana -declare wealth yao, au waseme vile vitu wako navyo,
kabla hawajaanza kufanya kazi, ili wakifanya kazi, tujue huu utajiri wamepata namna gani, kwa ule muda mfupi ambao
wamefanya kazi.
Succession: – Watu wakifa, kwa mfano Mzee kama mimi nikifa, relatives wangu, – bibi yangu na watoto wangu wanafaa
