constitution of kenya review commission (ckrc ... - ConstitutionNet

18Let the Constitution address. Let everybody be treated. Regardless of who is who in Kenya by the government? Leteverybody not contribute anything, anywhere and let the money be from taxpayers. Then the other part Commissioners is thatwe have got corruption. How are we going to wipe corruption? Let there be a man appointed by the government. I think inEnglish he is known as all ombudsman. A person appointed by the government to receive and report on complaints made byordinary against the government or the public servants. Let this ombudsman be answerable to Parliamentarians. Let him besacked by not an individual but the members of Parliament when they are seated in their house. How? Because he can also becorrupt. If he is corrupt, let him be wipe out by Parliamentarians when they sit in their sessions. Then the other part is aboutpowers of the President. I mean the President must have some powers to rule the country but should be limited because if he isabove the law, he can do anything.Let everybody in this Kenya who is a leader or President not be above the law, because he can misuse power. He can sayanything and this will be very bad to we citizens. Those are my views. Especially above the law, he should not be above thelaw. Because he is a man like any other person and he can mess. Then the other part is the majimboism. I would not likethis majimbo. That is personally. Because we are Kenyans and we are brothers and anyone can live anywhere. In fact if I get ashamba in Coast. Let me go and live there comfortably. Let the Constitution allow every Kenyan to live anywhere, to walkanywhere, to eat anything in Kenya. Because we are Kenyans and we are brothers. Let the Constitution be that way. Thereshould be no majimboism. Then the other part is about the trade. Let those people who are given chance of enabling to see themarket of our things i.e. crops. Let the Constitution allow those people to have market and let the benefits come to commonman. If we sell coffee, if they sell coffee. Let us benefit. If they sell tea let us benefit and let the Constitution allow that.Then the other part that I would like to address very much is about the extension of Review Commission. I would like, if thetime given, is not enough for this thing. To be extended but i.e. the Review Commission that is Commission of Ghai, should beextended so that we may contribute the views of this Constitution nicely. But let it be completed before the elections. We knowthe election is by the end of this year. If it will be extended, let it be extended very little to complete. Unless the whole work tobe completed because there is no need of going to general elections if the Review Commission is not complete. I am notsaying, we extend the general election because if for example I retired when I was 55, if am 56 I am told you must go. Similarlyif someone has stayed five years. Should go and allow other people to go and campaign and then go there.So there should not be any extension of general elections whatsoever. Let it be that and that is democracy. If the duration isthere let it not be extended. I have finished. I am very brief. The Constitution should allow our young people who are educatedto be employed. Commissioners at the moment we know there are so many graduates here. They are loitering and they areactually trained by the government. The Constitution should allow those who are graduates and have certificates to beemployed and this sacking is not good. Yes, thank you.Com. Nancy Baraza: Thank you very much.
