constitution of kenya review commission ckrc ... - ConstitutionNet

case study if required, but I am not ready to do it because, I think we are just giving our views.
Racial discrimination: Asian based organizations pay their fellow Asians well, while Africans are not well payed. Some
employees are put under secret salary structures. Others get poor increaments, irrespective of their qualifications. (Just allow
me one more minute) There is also professional discrimination. If its an academic institution, teachers will be paid, well but
bursars secretaries, librarians, are lowly paid, and get poor increaments, irrespective of their qualifications and years of service.
If it is a law company or a law firm, lawyers are well paid and the rest of the staff are not paid well. Since such people are few
in such an organization, they keep quiet because they do not want lose their jobs. Now I have some of the suggestions on what
the government can do, so as to make sure that this does not happen in the future.
Just as we have a CID department in Kenya for criminals, the government should also establish a department which can work
with the CID department, to ensure that employees are not exploited by their employers. This department should be be able to
act swiftly, and collaborate with various professional organizations like Law Society of Kenya, Kenya Library Association,
TSC and KNUT, and others. And this deparment should be able to detect such anomalies, by visiting these organizations
regularly. To make their work easier, the payslip format must be redesigned, so that it can accomodate more details, for
example employees qualifications, job title, years of serVice, fringe benefits and so forth and so forth. Thank you.
Com. Wambua: Asante sana, tutamuita Joseph Njoroge.
Joseph Njoroge: My name is Joseph Njoroge. I want to tackle some things. about elections. Voting should be done through
secret ballots. Where it is possible, ballot boxes should be transparent.
A Presidential candidate should be declared the winner, when he or she gets 60% and not 25%. That one we, do not want.
Some seats should be reserved for the disabled.
The Presidential candidate should not be a member of Parliament, and the Presidential elections should be held separately from
the others. Election Commissioners should be independent. The Mayors and the Chairman should be elected directly by the
people; but not by the Councillors there. Asante sana Joseph Njoroge, tutuamuita Purity Wangige yuko?
Purity Wangige: Mine is on traffic. It would be very good if citizens travelling by public means, could be allowed to report
the driver, or the matatu that is being driven carelessly, over speeding or driven by a drunk driver. If the police could take
serious measures on such drivers, even though no accident has occured, then this would reduce the number of accidents
occuring in Kenya. The person reporting such a case should not be ignored, and the driver should be followed and punished
but not bribing the police. I believe taking the situation seriously would be more efficient than compensation after accidents
