players in different fields according to their talents, like national players in football. This will improve the standard of games or
sports in this country.
I want to finish by highlighting on street children. These are part of the Kenyan population and unless the Constitution takes into
account about their state in life, the country will soon face a security threat, it is already in a security threat. I recommend the
following; grown ups who are on the street should be cleared and settled on pieces of land set aside for such families to
dicsourage such families on the streets. Children on the streets who have no parents should be taken to rehabilatation centres
then to schools compulsorily. Then these children, I suppose, should be trained in given skills and employed to curb this menace
on the streets. On the other groups, you will have to read. Let me please highlight on the Judiciary.
This sector has become too corrupt and most kenyans have lost too much money in the name of bribing right from the police
constable up to the highest judges in order to set or offset their cases. I suggest the following to the Commission; the Judiciary
should be an independent body without interferances from the Executive powers. There should be a Constitutional court to
deal with matters concerning the Constitution. Judicial officers should be appointed by a Judicial Commission and be vetted by
the Parliament. The Judicial Commission should be incharge of the discipline of the Judges and other officers enjoying security
of tenure. Qualification of the Judicial officers should be determined by the Judicial Commission and vetted by the Parliament.
Legal aid should be mandatory to every Kenyan. This should include when the people in power, including when the state has
been sued by an individual or a group.
I want to… I’m looking at you and it is as if you are worried about my time. Please give me two more minutes.
National resources, management of national resources: These resources belong to all Kenyans and to our surprise, they only
serve a small fraction, while the larger fraction only hear or get nothing from it. I’m suggesting that the following be put into
action by the Commission: The Kenyan resources should be managed from the local levels, we want the resouces to be
devolved to the lowest level so that every Kenyan can benefit; Affirmative action should be used to develop industries for local
areas; There should be equitable supply of the national resources; There should be better renumeration of everything including
jobs where by one man or woman should have one job. There must be better pay in every field.
On land and property, I suggest we need to become urban in Bunyore, where by loans should be availed to people to put up
permanent business structures to enhance income because we have no land for farming in Bunyore. You will find 4 people living
in one square acre, one acre. Inheritance of land should be for all. Sons and daughters and even women should inherit land.
There should be ceiling on land for a given number of acres for an individual, preferably 100 acres per individual. This will allow
all Kenyans to acquire at least some land. Foreigners should be given conditions on land use. They should be only allowed to
lease and not to buy because some of them have too much money and they will rob the poor all the land. The government can
only acquire land from private owners on agreement of being reimbursed or given land else-where for public utility. Transfer of
land should be freely done. Women should be allowed to inherit land from their deceased spouses without interferances from
their family Members. The process of transfer of land should be simplified. It is too complicated that it robs people a lot of
