Muislamu tu. Lakini kuna Wafrica Waislamu waki sawa sawa kushinda hawa Waarabu huko juu. Wana elimu ya dini. Wajua<br />

kusome, lakini hawathaminiwi kwa sababu mpaka ufanyua mmoja. Lakini tuaomba ukatwe. Na sisi tuwe nasi tuna sauti ya<br />

kutosha sehemu ya Kisauni. Ya tosha hayo.<br />

Mambogo W.T. Haya. Tumuite Hamed, kuna Ahamed. Muhammed? Stephen Musyoka? Musyoka, nataka kukupa dakila<br />

mbili tafadhali, uko na memorandum?<br />

Stephen Musyoka: Naomba tatu tafadhali.<br />

Com. Wambua: Ni mbili tu. Watu hapa ni wengi. Ninataka kumpa kila mtu nafasi.<br />

Stephen Musyoka: The Supremacy <strong>of</strong> the Constitution: The Constitution should be superior to all other lawa. The basis <strong>of</strong><br />

the democracy is the rule <strong>of</strong> law. So the law should be applied consistently and that all the citizens are equal before the law.<br />

The Constitution should be the reference point for all the other laws and for the action <strong>of</strong> the State <strong>of</strong>ficials.<br />

Enforcing the Constitution: The Constitution should be accessible to the people. In true democracy people are sovereign so<br />

they should be able to understand what their Constitution says and feel that it belong to them.<br />

Our new Constitution should be written in a clear straight forward style that any person can understand not just a lawyer or<br />

academicians. Kenya is a multi-cultural society so we should consider writing our Constitution in every mother tongue that is<br />

spoken by the Citizens.<br />

Our new Constitution should be taught in schools deseminated through the media and discussed in citizen meetings throughout<br />

the country so that everyone becomes familiar with it.<br />

Citizens should have the right to sue to enforce their Constitution. Usually a Constitution is made by people who not only live<br />

together ---<br />
