constitution of kenya review commission ckrc ... - ConstitutionNet

Commissioners should be appointed by Parliament. A task force should be set up comprising of members of the police force
and legal experts to monitor, bribery during election processes, tampering of electoral process material. A special court to
prosecute those who flout electoral laws. Registration of voters should be a continous process, since the date of it’s
commencement. Also, the contestants, be it of civic or Parliamentary seats, who are involved in violence during election
periods, should be prosecuted, and if possible disqualified from contesting.
On labour and employment, all the registered workers unions should be enjoined by the government, in making polisies
concerning the workers they represent. Workers benefits, be it retirement or retrenchment should be paid in time, and a
special commission be set up to hear their grievances if any. Governments should also work out modalities of employing
judges, teachers and nurses.
On the economy I would propose a Bill to be published in Parliament on graft. And independent special courts should formed
to look into all corruption cases, in the government and private sectors. Imports of items locally available, should be highly
taxed, to save local producers from unfair competition. Government workers or civil servants, involved in smuggling or evading
taxes on imports, should be prosecuted and dismissed.
On agriculture, farmers should be protected by law from unfair competition, from imports of farm produce. Also farm imports
should be lowly taxed, to give the farmers a reasonable profit margin. The government should also come out with a policy to
make desert regions more productive in agriculture through irrigation schemes.
On Provincial Administration, I would propose that the chiefs, and sub chiefs should be elected directly by the people. The law
should also be stict on Provincial administrators, on taking sides on the political scene.
On local government, all the Mayors should be elected directly by the people. The council should be empowerd to run councils
instead of so much power being vested in the local govenment ministry. An independent task force, should be created, to look
deeply in all council founds management. Also councils revenue collection processes should more streamlined to boost
services.
On health, the government should provide free medical care. The condition and hygienic terms in all govenment hospitals should
be reconsidered, for currently most are in a pathetic state.
Also prisoners should be protected by the law on health matters and medical care should be accessible to them all. A powerful
commission should be set up to look into living conditions, and lives of prisoners, sanitation facilities and water availability in all
the Kenyan prisons.
