Fifth, I would like a continous voter registration, as opposed to the voter that we have now whereby voters are registered
during a particular time. We would like to see a continous voter registration in the same manner as IDs are given out.
Sixth, I would like to see community serVice introduced for the petty offenders. Our jails are too much congested and we
cannot allow such a system to continue. Because, when jails are congested, the resources are few, and they have to be used by
a very high number of people, and this becomes something that is not allowed. We would also like to see the direct election of
the Mayors and the Provincial Commissioners. The people should decide who should be the PC in their province, and they
should also be able to decide who shall be their Mayor. That is all I, have and I would like to thank you very much for having
given me this opportunity.
Com. Kabira: Thank you very very much. I have been requested to give Dr. Gitu a chance to speak because he has to leave,
and I said I will check with you. Is it okey with the rest of the people? We give Dr. Gitu a chance. Thank you very much.
Dr. Gitu: Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen?
I have only one point. It is in written form and therefore I will not read the statement. I would like to recommend just one thing,
and that is to separate the powers among the Judiciary, Legislature and the Executive. The reason for this is, I do agree that we
must have a President, but his powers especially the powers, to appoint ministers, permanent secretaries, senior civil servants,
and obviously the judges. It is important that we provide the power to the President to nominate those senior government
officials, but must be vetted by the Parliament. What has been happening, ladies and gentlemen, is that the President or rather
the Executive, has the powers to appoint at 1.00 ‘O’ clock, and also has the power to fire. He must be subjected, first of all by
Parliament, that he cannot hire at will, nor can he fire at will, and that is the whole issue of separation of powers. It is
important, it does not matter what else we do in the Constitution, as long as all the powers are vested in the Presidency or the
Executive. That is all I have to say for now, it has been said and is affixed, I wanted to say.
