Tourism, being a major economic contributer, the ministry should look into the expansion and potential of marketing it, with
ideas from the youth.
We hope the government can be able to empower youth in governance issues, since the youth are very active. We want to be
involved now, not later, because late on, it is going to be hard for us to fit into the shoes, which we have not planned for.
Joan Richardson: Children; This low class estate, for example Ziwani, Kaloleni, would like the commissioners to at least talk
to the government to bring organizations like FIDA, give them more power and what they need to come to places like this and
be able to meet different kind of people, especially the women.
Child abuse in areas like ours happen everyday and no one wants to talk about it because it is ashaming, leave alone to tell a
woman who’s child has been abused to go to the police station to report. This is because they are shy and do not have much
money to follow up the case.
Offices like FIDA, Women can go and talk to them freely without being ashamed.
The government should not have much power as it has right now, the power should be on the people, because; let us say for
instance, we know the police force is very corrupt. People can use friends in the police force to frustrate other people.
Interrruption: (Inaudible)
Joan Richardson: Sometimes, the children arre being abused by the fathers. We used to think that only little girls are abused,
but we found out that even the boys are being abused, maybe by neighbours, who can bribe the police to stop the case.
However, if we have organizations like FIDA, who can follow up the case and the parents are not ashamed to report the case,
it will really help.
Joseph Karanja: If the government is serious in changing the constitution, it should have published constitutional booklets for
the sake of the common person who does not know about the constitution.
The government should stop wasting the taxpayer’s money, with this commission because we have experienced many
commissions that have been misusing our money, i.e tax payer’s money and the results of the commission are left in the office
cabinets. Example, the bombololou commission of inquiry and the David Koech commission of education, which was never
implemented
Lastly, I have a question, which needs not to be answered directly. Is this country run by an executive president or by the
commissions of inquiry
