Com. Ibrahim Lethome Please summarize. Your time is up.<br />
Mr. Waiganjo: on environment and natural resources, we recommend that our <strong>constitution</strong> should prohibit any other further<br />
clearing <strong>of</strong> remaining resources. In Laikipia we had very few forests. And with those few forest we are left with only patches <strong>of</strong><br />
trees. All forests are gone in Laikipia, becoming a desert now. Honourable <strong>commission</strong>ers you have asked me to sum marize.<br />
And I summarize by saying that.<br />
This <strong>constitution</strong> now that we are trying to make, it should be made by the Kenyans as it is happening now. It belongs to us. and<br />
then they should know it understand it. So it could be written in language that every one can understand. Kiswahili, kikuyu,<br />
Kalenjin, Turkana and other languages. The <strong>constitution</strong> should state that it must become part <strong>of</strong> the school curriculum so that<br />
children grow by it. they grow knowing and understanding the <strong>constitution</strong>. And lastly, we recommend that the state should<br />
ensure that the new document <strong>of</strong> the <strong>constitution</strong> is easily accessible to all Kenyans. And with that I (inaudible)<br />
Com. Ibrahim Lethome Thank you very much Mr. Waiganjo. Please register your memorandum.<br />
Mr. Waiganjo: Thank you very much dear Commissioners.<br />
Com. Ibrahim Lethome thank you very much. Is (inaudible) catholic church there (Inaudible) Catholic Church If there are<br />
not there we can have Daniel Thumbi. Mr. Thumbi summarize, you have five minutes.<br />
Daniel Thumbi: My first points regard environment degradation in Laikipia west. The new <strong>constitution</strong> to revoke all the<br />
forests that have been demarcated in the recent past. There was one forest that was artificial it was the source <strong>of</strong> timber, it was<br />
the source <strong>of</strong> water for both people and animals. And now we are seeing a future that shall not have water in Laikipia because<br />
the catchment areas has been destroyed.<br />
The second highlight is on the issue <strong>of</strong> the street <strong>of</strong> family. As much as we publicise issues regarding Kenyans there are<br />
somethings I think are not put into practice. We talk <strong>of</strong> human rights, we talk <strong>of</strong> the children bills, we talk <strong>of</strong> the family rights but<br />
we don’t put anything into practice. There are so many children and young people suffering in the streets. Not because are not<br />
Kenyan but they are segrated by the government. the government is doing nothing to help them. And these families are creating<br />
so many problems. We only talk <strong>of</strong> increase <strong>of</strong> thugary but young child has grown in the streets cannot be told murdering<br />
somebody is bad. He has seen it, he has practiced it. we will only continue crying that crime is increasing, but we are not<br />
addressing the problems that are bringing about these criminal activities.<br />
Com. Ibrahim Lethome What do you recommend
