parties. So, it’s like they think that the work of the nomination council is bad. So, they should be nominated by their nomination
council and not by themselves.
If I can go back to citizenship, In Kenya, I think a person… we have three ways in which a person can acquire citizenship: by
birth, naturalization or registration. So those people who were born in Kenya before independence or after independence but
they were Members of Kenya, they should be given their citizenship without any approval. Because we find that some people
who were working abroad before Kenya got independence are denied their citizenship and yet they are Members of this
country. And yet we have foreigners who are given citizenship but they are supposed to.
I will wind up by saying that the President should not be Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces. If so why should he elect
the Minister for Defense and why should we have kina Kibwana. I think he is supposed to delegate such like authorities to
those people by not being the chief commanding the Armed Forces and whatever.
Then when you want to arrest someone, I think there we have two ways: we have a voluntary arrest and we have a warrant of
arrest but most of the local people are denied their dignity by being harassed by some of the Members who are there to please
the government by harassing those locals. So I would like the Constitution at least to lay a strategy on how, even if you’ve
committed a crime, we should have a way of arresting somebody by at least to secure someone’s dignity to, because some
people are highly molested by those government officials who direct those arrest. Thank you.
Com. Kangu: We have Mbwaya Ambene Atiele.
Mbwaya Ambene Atieli: Kwa majina ni Mbwaya Ambene Atiele. Siku hizi mimi ni mzee. Nilikuwa kwa siasa tukiwa
tunatafuta uhuru. Mimi ndio nilikuwa nikipeleka Tom Mboya kwa (Inaudible) tukaenda ng’ambo, tukaenda kumpigia simu na
ndugu yake. Tulikuwa tunafanya kwa BAT na yeye. Tukaenda, niende kumlaki. Lakini kwa saa hizi, siasa nilikuwa nafikiria
tutawachia watoto wenye msingi mwema. Serikali yetu sio mbaya sana, lakini ubaya mwizi hawezi kunasa mwizi mwenzake
maana corruption ishaenea kwa kila mtu. Ukiona makosa halafu uonyeshe mtu wa Serikali huyu mtu ana hatia, atakudai kwanza
cha mfuko na atakwenda kuongea na yule mtu na utaona mtu anakwenda na wewe ndio utabaki. Sasa hapo matekeo, huyo
aliyepeana hongo anakwenda, kesho ndiye atakumaliza. Serikali haiwezi kuchukua hatia hapo katika hii wanasema ati Katiba.
Ndio ni sawa na kuna watoto wenye ujuzi mwingi wanapotolea huku na akili. Huwezi kusaidiwa, motokaa napita tu. Wengine
wanasema eti chokora wanapaka mavi katika town. Ni njaa inayotokana tu na sheria. Sheria ile ya mbeberu ilikuwa kali. Ukiwa
na makosa huwezi kusamehewa ati pesa mbele na huko nawe unakwenda. Mambo ya kuweka pesa mbele na kuharibu ndio
chanzo kibaya. Maana yake mtu anaweka pesa, anakuua tu lakini pesa itawekwa pale nawe utapotea. Hakuna kesi. Katiba
iaangalie hilo neno.
Pande wa pombe, tulikuwa na pombe yetu ya kizamani. Walikuwa wakikaa, wakiwa na harusi ama nini. Hapo kulikuwa na mtu
