Lands should be set aside in all constituencies <strong>of</strong> our republic for the benefit <strong>of</strong> the poor and the victims <strong>of</strong> Aids, and building <strong>of</strong><br />

their education be set aside. This comes about where donors produce and give out money to this people. They should know<br />

exactly where the money should be taken.<br />

We would also like Kenyans, hawking for their own daily bread, to be let free, and councils should plan for the kiosks they sell<br />

to the public. Because they go away with their money, and earns them with nothing to depend on. Women in Kenya should<br />

not be treated like like second class citizens. This comes to the part <strong>of</strong> work given in the big positions <strong>of</strong> this country.<br />

Traditional harmful practices that are harmful to the health and well being <strong>of</strong> a person especially those that have perpetuated the<br />

oppression <strong>of</strong> women and girls; such as girls genital mutilation, inheritance and property ownership, sexual harassment and rape,<br />

should be put and carried forward in our next Constitution.<br />

Education: Funds in schools should not always be the issue <strong>of</strong> payment by parents. It is only when there is a new development,<br />

which is taking place in that particular place.<br />

Governance: Women have a role in voting in Kenya yet they are lowly represented in all aspects <strong>of</strong> governance i.e. leadership,<br />

positions, elective, assigned, nomination, administrative powers structures; and the ratio <strong>of</strong> women in the location’s local<br />

authority wards, should be equalized. Women being the majority voters in our country should also be highly considered in all<br />

aspects. Administration powers <strong>of</strong> harassing hawkers, should be scrapped out in the coming Constitution <strong>of</strong> the year 2003.<br />

Public health centres should be well equiped with medicines, and other equipment tools needed to enable our local people to go<br />

for treatment. No Kenyan over 18 years <strong>of</strong> age should be considered landless, since he is supposed to be participating in the<br />

development our country. Thank you.<br />

Com. Wambua: Asante sana Lilian, tutamuita Mbai Ndung’u, hayuko? David Munga.<br />

David Munga: Hon. member <strong>of</strong> Parliament Paul Muite, Hon. Commissioners, ladies and gentlement. Kwanza kabisa<br />

nitashukuru wale walio unda hii kamati kwa sababu some <strong>of</strong> us have got a millennium privilege now. That we can stand and<br />

speak something. Wherever they are, thank you very much. Sasa mimi ningetaka pia kuchangia katika hii as a young turk. I<br />

think there is something like that. Kwanza kabisa ningetaka kusema mambo ya affirmative action, hiyo affirmative action should<br />

not exist at any one time. Please, dear women I would like to support you but I cannot be able to support you at all, kwa<br />

sababu hata ukiangalia hapa tafadhali. Huwezi kusema tuendee wanawake kule nyumbani, tuwapatie uongozi na hata hapa<br />

tuki-count vichwa one, two, three women I think less than ten. Please I love you very much, but affirmative action should not<br />

be included anywhere in the Constitution, that gender equality should not be there. Mtu ajipiganie, mambo kama hiyo.<br />

Ile ingine ningetaka kusema ni ya lack <strong>of</strong> quorum in the Parliament, which has been there recently. Honourable Muite knows<br />
