ethical, academic and social track record. The winner for the Presidential position must garner up to 50% of the total votes
cast. After the general elections, all the parties should form a government of national unity, comprising of all political parties.
Institutions dealing with corruption should totally be independent, and that Presidential powers should be tonned down. The
freedom of expression should be repressed by the state and all citizens must be given total freedom of expression, regardless of
their political affiliation, race, tribe and political ideologies.
The constitutional review process, should be undertaken after every five years, and should therefore be made a continous
process. The Commissioners appointed to the Constitution, should be people who have demonstrated integrity in their work,
and must be non partisan. The electoral and Judicial process must be totally independent, and should operate without any
influence. There should be equitable distribution of income, regardless of political or regional differences. There should be free
education and health for all citizens, and the government must be accountable to its citizens. That is all I have.
Com. Wambua: Thank you very much. Please submit your memorundum, and sign the register. Tumuite James Thiga.
James Thiga: Hamjambo wote. Yangu ni machache. Kwanza nitaanzia na Constitution, lakini lazima tuangalie historia yetu
ya Kenya. Sisi tunasikia Constitution ya Kenya imebadilishwa zaidi ya mara thelathini na nane. Kwa hivyo ni lazima tu i-defend
kwenye Constitution. Kwa hivyo, hakuna mtu ameruhusiwa kubadilisha Katiba ya Kenya, akiwa raisi, mbunge, ama mtu
yeyote, ijapokuwa ni wale watu walioinda, na wapitie njia ya national referendum.
Jambo la pili ni settlement. Mtu yeyote alie zaidi ya miaka kumi na nane, na ni landless; anatakikana kuwa na title deed ya ya
shamba. Yule mtu anatakikana kuwa na shamba kubwa hapa nchini Kenya, ni acre 50 peke yake.
Salaries rate: The government must control the salary rate. Nitapeana mfano kidogo, mtu akiajiri msichana wa kazi ndie
kijakazi, anatakikana ampatie pesa zile government ime-control, sio anajiambia. Kupitia committee ambayo serikali itaunda, ya
kuangalia mambo kama haya.
Elections za President: Kunatakikana kuwe na uchaguzi wa urais baada ya uchaguzi wa ubunge na udiwani, kufanywa baada ya
miezi sita.
Tuingie katika polling stations: Polling stations zinatakikana zipewe jukumu la kuhesabu kura, kwa ajili katika usafirisaji wa kura
ndio watu huiba, na kuwe na transparent ballot boxes.
System of government: Tunatakikana ku-retain the Presidential type of government, with the President not having the power.
