Mr. Thumbi: I would like the government to take care <strong>of</strong> all street people regardless <strong>of</strong> which town they come from.<br />

Com. Ibrahim Lethome Endelea.<br />

Mr. Thumbi: on education the <strong>constitution</strong> state effectively on how the children from the poor families are goig to be assisted<br />

by the government. currently the ministry <strong>of</strong> education is providing very minimal bursaries. It is not enough for a student who has<br />

a school balance <strong>of</strong> 40,000 shillings to be given a bursary <strong>of</strong> 500 /=. More money should be included in the bursary fund to<br />

enable these students to continue with education.<br />

Still on the education we would like the new <strong>constitution</strong> to be taught in both primary and secondary school as part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

syllabus. It is heartening to know that we are Kenyans but we don’t know the Kenyans law. The government hs not take any<br />

intiative <strong>of</strong> teaching the laws to the citizens. The citizen are only taught briefly by the church ad may be from the family levels but<br />

most <strong>of</strong> the laws are not known by the Kenyans such that you will find a Kenyan committing a crime. Not knowing that it is a<br />

crime he is not committing. We want these laws to be taught in these levels <strong>of</strong> education. We don’t want the lawyers to be the<br />

sole custodians <strong>of</strong> these laws we want them available in every part <strong>of</strong> the community life.<br />

Com. Ibrahim Lethome please summarize the part remaining.<br />

Mr. Thumbi: Thast was my last point.<br />

Com. Ibrahim Lethome Okay. Thank you very much Mr. Thumbi. Please take it there. Njorua High School. Njorua High<br />

School is there. I take it you are one <strong>of</strong> the mwalimu there<br />

Speaker: I am the deputy.<br />

Com. Ibrahim Lethome you are thde deputy. At least give us your names.<br />

Jackson Ndungu Kimoye: Jackson Ndungu Kimoye.<br />

Com. Ibrahim Lethome Go ahead.<br />

Mr. Ndungu: Honorable <strong>commission</strong>ers. (inaudible) <strong>of</strong> the proposal <strong>of</strong> the school, it also concerns the issue <strong>of</strong> security. And<br />

being only one, I could actually go round and give a bit <strong>of</strong> history <strong>of</strong> this area. People <strong>of</strong> laikipia West have for quite a number<br />

<strong>of</strong> years now leave under very scaring security matters. Because it has been that every day that you wake up a crime has been<br />

committed in one corner or the other <strong>of</strong> this area.
