in reality, we see several governments existing because when you look to the lets say this area where we have tea growers, we
have KTDA whereby we have board of directors. They have their roles which are not looked upon by the government because
sometimes you can look when a farmer goes there with cases they must be even thrown out and being told they can go
wherever they want because there is a government by the parliament by itself and a government by itself.
The other issue I have, is about the retirement, yaani you look
Com. Abubakar: Kidogo dugu yangu. You are saying KTDA is the same as parliament
Charles Rimiri: Yes, it is the same as parliament, the way they exist and they carry out their obligations, because if the
farmers have their issues, they sit there in the board room and then they don’t have anywhere to take their issues,
Another thing I was talking about is about the retirement age. If you look the government of Kenya today, they have set a
retirement age,
Com. Abubakar: Kidogo, kidogo, mzee wangu, mzee wangu hapo nyuma, nakuomba kwa hisani yako, tumpe fursa aseme
ndio tumfikie kama hatujakufikia.
Charles Rimiri: They have set a retirement age and they are not looking at that proposal which they have put forward
because you can see, if somebody has been retired, he is taken somewhere else to work in another position, and we look very
well that this person, the government when it was formulating those laws, it shows that person has gone to the stage which is
called, which is not profitable to the public. So when he is taken to the other post, you see that the way he performs his
responsibilities is not worthy. So I have that if somebody has been retired, he should be discarded. He should not be given
another portfolio.
The other thing I have to speak about, on that issue, is about the issuing of job. It should be in Kenya, one man one job, so that
the young generation who have groomed up in education sector should have employment.
The other thing I have to speak is about the government, the government of Kenya should have the two houses, the way it was
at the beginning. We should have the upper house, which should be composed by ministers who should not be elected from the
MPs. And the lower house, we should be having the representatives, those are the members of parliament who have been
elected from the areas to represent the views of the wananchi because they will take effect because we elect people to
represent our issues to the parliament and if we have those two houses, the issues will be representing the house of
representatives, whereby they will be forwarded to the upper house to send it or out of the ministers. So those are what I had.
Thank you.
Com. Abubakar: Pia yule nilimuita Kanampio amekuja Fanya haraka sababu uliitwa hukuwa huko, twende haraka haraka,
wenzako wanaenda haraka haraka sasa. Utaje jina kwenye microphone, utaje mambo yako haraka haraka tafadhali,
Kanampio Mbocori: Asante sana Bwana commissioner, kwa jina ni Kanampio mbocori. I have only six points.
