Kenyan, must be allowed to do so as long as he fulfills the required conditions. The conditions should be reduced to the
minimum in order to encourage as many immigrants or refugees or aliens who would like to become Kenyans. Once a person
is married to a Kenyan, he or she should automatically become a Kenyan regardless of the sex. In this regard I am considering
our immediate people of Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania and the Indian Ocean Island where there is a lot of cross
border marriages. Every citizen is entitled to basic rights, food, clothes, health, shelter, education, life, livelihood or
employment, freedom of association and of expression. A citizen must obey the Constitution and all other laws being enacted
from time to time.
Com. Pastor Zablon Ayonga: Hebu muulika maoni yale makubwa makubwa.
James Olopono: Haya, asante. Maoni mengine yamo ndani ya karatasi ambayo nitapeana kwa hivyo nitafanya kwa ufupisho.
Kuhusu uzalendo au citizenship, nimependekeza kila Mkenya awe Mkenya bila kuulizwa maswali mengi. Haya, kwa
kuzaliwa, kwa ajili ya mzazi kuwa Mkenya na kwa ajili ya kupenda kuwa Mkenya. Unahamia kutoka nchi ingine, umependa
kuishi Kenya na unataka kuwa Mkenya halisi, uruhusiwe, usizuiliwe kwa njia yeyote.
Kuhusu mambo ya vitambulishe: Ingewezekana tunapendelea kila Mkenya amezaliwa Kenya apewe kitambulisho, apewe
passport, apewe cardi ya kura mradi tu akigonga miaka kumi na nane, tangu siku yake ya kuzaliwa. Na hiyo yote inawezekana
kwa ajili Kenya sasa ni computerized, watoto wakizaliwa majina yao na siku ya kuzaliwa iwekwe ndani ya computer. Miaka
ya kumi na nane ikifika, apewe vitu hivyo bila kuulizwa maswali zaidi.
Kuhusu defence and national security, usalama wa nchi: Rais haitajiki kuwa mkuu ya majeshi, haitajiki kusimamia kila sehemu,
kila kituo, askari polisi, askari jeshi, hapana. Rais apeana vyeo vyingine kwa Wakenya na awaamini ya kuwa watasimamia
jukumu yao bila wasiwasi. Kwa hivyo kuwezekane kuwe na Minister for Defence na aachwe afanye kazi yake kikamilifu.
Kuwe na Commander of the Armed Forces tofauti na Rais na asimamie wanajeshi sawa sawa. Hapana changanya na si vizuri
mtu mmoja kuwa na viti vyote ya Kenya. Igawanywe gawanywe, kila mwingine apewe.
Kuhusu vyama vya kisiasa: Ninapendekeza vyama viwe vitatu. Chama kimoja ambacho kina majority, chama ya pili ambacho
kina majority ya pili na chama cha tatu, kiitwe independent party. Chama ambacho kitasomba Wakenya wengine ambao
hawataki chama ya kwanza, na hawataki chama cha pili. Lakini kuwa na mlolongo ya chama arubaini, sitini haifai. Zipunguzwe,
zifanyiwe screening, uchuji, zichujwe kabisa zibaki tu tatu pekee yake. Halafu sisi tunajiandikisha kwa hivyo vitatu.
Com. Pastor Zablon Ayonga: James saa yako imekwisha.
James Olopono: Asante sana Bwana mwenye kiti. Kuna mengine mengi ningesema lakini kwa vile nitapeana ikiwa kwenye
kitabu, ninaamini ma-commissioners watashughulikia vilivyo. Asante sana.
