Jurisprudence, because Judges after years <strong>of</strong> toil, adjusting to balance justice only to have a defender <strong>of</strong> the political system to<br />

be appointed to be their head. Moreover, currently we have brothers, who are being allowed to hold positions, who are<br />

powerful in the cabinet, and we have somebody else who is the governor. Surely I don’t see how, for example if at all we have<br />

a reshuffle today. Joe Nyaga is going to maybe become the Minister <strong>of</strong> Finance, and we have his brother Nahashon Nyaga,<br />

who is the governor <strong>of</strong> Central Bank. We cannot have better distribution <strong>of</strong> power because, family instincts link the two and<br />

not follow what their job calls for.<br />

The Constitution should allow Parliament to impeach the President. We should not have a case whereby, as it is now, that the<br />

cabinet is the only one that can discuss the conduct <strong>of</strong> the President, <strong>of</strong> which he is a member. Moreover the Attorney General<br />

should not be directly appointed by the President but nominated. Moreover the same person should either be Director <strong>of</strong><br />

Public Prosecutions, or the government legal adviser. Either <strong>of</strong> the two, but not both, because certainly holding the two<br />

positions by one person, can only be done by psychotic case, who is suffering from dual personality syndrome, and cannot be<br />

the same person. Even why go this far, since we have many lawyers who would be happy to do the job?<br />

My other contribution now, is in the modern trends in the universe. I am not aware <strong>of</strong> how the current Constitution has been<br />

designed to react to stimuli. From our biological classes, we were taught about response to stimuli. Stimuli when it comes to<br />

the local chiefs, who are appointed through the whims <strong>of</strong> an individual President. The local government who use archaic means<br />

to govern. I am not aware <strong>of</strong> any local government that can talk <strong>of</strong> it’s records being straight, in terms <strong>of</strong> treatment <strong>of</strong> sewer<br />

and garbage at city estates. This should be elected at county levels, so that regional decentralization <strong>of</strong> government, one knows<br />

that his job is clearly dependent on the the people he is governing. Then he will have a stake in the future <strong>of</strong> any move that he is<br />

going to make.<br />

Then doctors and nurses, should be paid by local government, so that they can be a free market trend <strong>of</strong> a clinic, whereby there<br />

will be a competition for areas that can afford one. In those cases that cannot, then the government should <strong>commission</strong> NGOs,<br />

and other bodies such as multi nationals that will be operating in an area, and really give competitive rates and tax rebate so that,<br />

at the end <strong>of</strong> it all, instead <strong>of</strong> we having brain drain, we can talk <strong>of</strong> brain gain.<br />

The Constitution does not provide on how to deal with globalization. Globalization, here I define as the power to perform.<br />

That is rapidly reshaping the structure and organization <strong>of</strong> the world economy, which now are controlled by multinationals in<br />

powerful countries, or blocks, as you may wish to call them, such as the European Union, NAFTER which is the North Atlantic<br />

Free Trade Areas Association, that consists <strong>of</strong> United States and Canada; which makes a very powerful force. Or the Asians<br />

Traders that are called the AIC, against week countries. We have now redumping <strong>of</strong> goods in whatever form. If there is any<br />

content in the industrialization <strong>of</strong> Kenya by 2020, we should not have as much old goods being circulated in the market, yet we<br />

have allowed government regulatory bodies such as CommunicationCommission <strong>of</strong> Kenya for the investor or the consumer.<br />
