money. Men and women should have equal access to land. Kenyans should own land anywhere in the country and every Kenyan should be guaranteed access to land. The last point my dear Commissioners is on environment and natural resources. When we talk about environment and natural resources, people in Bunyore possess about a few resources which are exploited by people from out or within. We need to talk about our Bunyore stones which occupy most of parts of Ebuhando up to Maseno and other parts of Bunyore. We also need to talk about our rivers, we have the river Jordan whose water is rarely realised by the Banyore but runs towards the neighbouring province while taps in Luanda town are dry. Bunyore houses do not use the water. So I want to suggest the following; Our natural resources should be managed by our selves right from local levels. This should be done by having in place committees from local up to national levels comprising of civil society. Our Bunyore stones, we need to have our own Bunyore granite to manage the stones, so that we benefit from it our selves. This will also create employment to the local community. The waters from our rivers, especially the Jordan river, should be well utilised to benefit the Banyore people by supplying into houses before it goes out of the Constituency. This water would help to enhance horticuture on our small plots during the dry season. Misuse of human resources can be minimised by creating employment to human beings in this area. That is by opening small industries to process our horticulture products starting from stones grinding industries, availing stones for construction of business premises, creating jobs opportunities to the youth who complete schools and training and empowering women economically. I think I should leave at that so that others can find a chance. But I’m seeing as if we have very few women and that is why I did take more much time to give their views here. Thank you sir. Com. Ayonga: I think I gave you all that time because you are the only woman who has spoken and I don’t see many women present. But let me thank…That what you have given to us is solid views and I’m sure, hata huyu amekubali. Si una-agree na mimi? Kile kitu nimejua leo ni ya kwamba kuna mawe yetu yanayo-itwa Bunyore stones na kuna River Jordan ambayo we are not making use of. Kwa hivyo tukiweka hizo resources zetu pamoja tutatengeneza mali. Thank you so much. And what do you make out of these stones? Dora Ingolo: These stones lie fallow here but recently we have seen the Indians come and take some of them, carry them to Nairobi and those beautiful houses you see glittering are from the stones from here. Com. Kangu: I’m coming back, I’m coming back to stay. What she is saying is true and you must wake up and protect that stone. Wahindis are now coming from Thika, they take one huge one, put in a lorry and take. That is the stone that is producing what you call in the houses taraso. And why don’t they be asked to come and put a factory here so that they can employ your children? 20
Com. Ayonga: Mama umesikia hiyo? Dora Ingolo: Nimesikia. Com. Ayonga: Sisi hatuchochei lakini tunasema fact kwamba ikitengenezwa hapa hiyo sasa imekuwa factory na ni Wanyore wetu ndio watafanya hiyo kazi na ndipo ipelekwe pahali. Com. Nunow: Madam Ingolo, I would like to take you away from the stones to the rapists. You mentioned that rapists should be given high penalties including castration. What do we do with female rapists? Dora Ingolo: Surely, I have never heard of a man complaining to have been raped. If there are such women that rape men, then the men should highlight that. May be before I finish sir, I have a point that I would like highlighted to the group that men who want to have as many wives as posible, we are recommending here that the many wives as a man has, because there is a recommendattion here that the title deeds should bear the name of both spouses. So, if he has ten women, he should also have ten different pieces of land to tame those women and give them different titles for the land. Com. Ayonga: That point has been proposed in some other places and women, I’m talking to men now, women have told us wherever we have been, they are not going to prevent you from marrying your many wives but whenever you marry a woman, you must have found a land some where, you marry, go stay with that woman there, but the land of the first woman is for that first woman. If you have ten plots then you marry ten women,women have no quarrel, but you can't bring women to this one plot here. And I think we have gotten the message and men have gotten the message reluctantly, not accepting but the war goes on. Now, Christopher Kwache? Christopher Kwache sema majina yako. Christopher Kwache: Majina ni Christopher Kwache Amwayi, ni mmoja wa CC member Emuhaya constituency na mimi nawakilisha walemavu katika Emuhaya. Nina memorandum ya walemavu hapa, ingawa ni ndefu lakini nitaisoma kwa ufupi kidogo kwa sababu ya wakati. Na nitaanza kusoma hivi: The new Constitution should ensure that there is free education for the disabled children from standard one up to university or colleges. Two, the new Constitution should ensure that the children of the people with the special disability to be considered first when giving education bursary. Three, the new Constitution should ensure that the people with special disability who have no land who have no land be given free land from the Government. Four, the new Constitution should ensure that there is free health service for the people with special disability and their families. Five, the new Constitution should ensure that those who cannot walk be given free wheel chairs or artificial legs. Ni kama sasa kuna wengine hawawezi kufika hapa kwa sababu ulemavu wao ni mgumu sana, hawawezi kufika hapa. Six, the new Constitution should ensure that there is a free license for the people with special disability for their business. 21
