tenured and shall be responsible for addressing and remedying all grievances arising from civil service excesses.
Com. Lethome: Can I ask you? The office of Ombudsman, do you want it to start from the locational level?
Stephen Gacheru: No, at the national level.
Com. Lethome: What happens to communities like here when they have a problem with police, where are they going to
report? If you want to help people, then you start where they are and then it goes up. Or you want it to be there? You want it to
be at the national level?
Stephen Gacheru: Yes. It should be a national office that is tenured but I should also propose or suggest that there should be
mechanism at the grass root level where somebody can lounge a complain. On the side of the office of the Comptroller and
Auditor General, I suggest that he should be empowered to prosecute any person who misappropriates our social right to
property. Although, Parliament is the supreme law making body in this country, I wish to suggest the following limitations. One,
Parliament should not enact any registration intended to dis-enfragize the people of Kenya or to pass any bill retracting on the
impressible rights of the Kenyan people.
The memorandum is a bit long and I think I will have to leave it here. I want to talk briefly about land. Land is a very important
resource and I believe every Kenyan is entitled to a piece of land. So, all land or leasehold land that is in the hands of
foreigners, should be nationalized and distributed to the landless. Another suggestion is that a (inaudible) should be introduced
or imposed on all arable land that is lying idle. Lastly, on national parks, I wish to suggest that their ownership should revert to
the County Councils and that the proceeds accruing from the tourism business be shared equally between the Central
Government and the Local Authority. Thank you.
Com. Bishop Njoroge: You have very important suggestions and I can assure you we are going to get into that memorandum.
Thank you very much. Very important views. Asante. Tupate Simon Gacheru. Alice Thande. Dorcas Makuleiyo. Samuel
