in Mathare. The schools in Muthaiga, obviously their parents are wealthy because you cannot stay in Muthaiga if you are not<br />

wealthy. So when the government wants to issue out may be financial assistance to schools, let it give Mathare more money<br />

than Muthaiga. I believe by doing that, it is a fair game because even some people we know they are able to take their children<br />

to primary schools and that poor man, where will he take his child?<br />

Com. Nunow: Finally?<br />

Joshua Iugu: Finally, I've made a lot <strong>of</strong> noise, I am sorry. A retiring President's salary, it should be discussed but you know<br />

since we've got multiparty, and we know that these parties, when one commands majority, they will approve more benefits. for<br />

him. So why can,t we have a Commission being set to approve a retiring President's salary than Parliament? At the moment, I<br />

know whoever is going to retire, given that he commands majority in Parliament, he is going to go away with a lot <strong>of</strong> benefits.<br />

And bearing in mind that already, he has been earning salary and all these people who are working beneath him or wherever<br />

they are working, they are actually trying to fend for themselves, why should he now think that we should save for the MPs?<br />

Then if MPs are getting what we call pension that’s a lot <strong>of</strong> money and you see they discus it themselves. The pension, <strong>of</strong> MPs<br />

should not be for MPs themselves to discuss. For example, even if you told your wife that let us discuss what we should eat and<br />

you begin actually, you will mention a lot which will be very expensive. But since the government, wananchi are the people who<br />

pay money, they don’t think <strong>of</strong> that poor man. How many poor people are in Bunyore? We want no jokes. You talk <strong>of</strong> planting<br />

majani, hii majani, tutapanda wapi? I am happy that some <strong>of</strong> you look as if you come from North Eastern from appearance, you<br />

have seen Bunyore what it is. They have small farms and I know given fertilizers freely, they can give us something. It is just a<br />

desert like North Eastern because we need to pay fees and these people are not working.<br />

Okay, I will finish there. Thank you very much Commissioners. Otherwise, I am very proud to be in the second Lancaster<br />

house.<br />

Com. Nunow: Thank you mwalimu, please register yourself there. Daniel Koli? Are you there? Kama Daniel hayuko,<br />

nitamwita Francis Kulali, Francis alizungumza jana sio? It was another Kulali? Francis Kulali ni kutoka CBO. Okay, he did.<br />

And Richard Onyango? Okay, Karibu. Richard, you have a memorandum? Give us a few <strong>of</strong> the highlights.<br />

Richard Onyango: Kwanza hebu tuzungumzie juu ya haki ya kimsingi au basic rights. Kwanza tungepeda Katiba mpya iruhusu<br />

haki ya kusanyika kwa makundi ya watu yaani kama mikutano na kadhalika. Kusiwe na muingiliano wowote kutoka kwa Polisi<br />

au ma- <strong>of</strong>ficer wa kutawala, mradi tu mkutano kama huo ni wa amani.<br />

Tukija kwa upande wa elimu, tungependekeza Katiba ibuni msingi madhubuti wa elimu ambao utakuwa nje kabisa na manufaa<br />

ya muingilio wa kisiasa. Yaani kusiwe na kitu kama mtu anaamka asubuhi na kusema ya kwamba tutoe elimu ya 8-4-4 au<br />
