22 threats. Yaani, vile maisha yanakuwa kule katika gereza, inatakiwa ibadilishwe, kwa sababu watu ambao walitunga sheria za gereza au prisons, hawakuwa na utu. Unaona watu wakishikwa na kuwekwa gereza, ni kama kumuua polepole. Kwa sababu maisha ya kule gerezani ni poor kabisa. Yaani kuna magonjwa ile contagious kama ile Kikuyu tunaita ‘muhale’, ama mengine na Aids ama Ukimwi. Mambo haya yote lazima yarekebishwe. Ingine ni, prisoners should enjoy TV services and Radio services, ili wawe informed na vile kunaendelea nje. Good sleeping facilities, noting that even an innocent man can be jailed. Na ile ingine nataka kuzungumzia ni, personal confession should be regarded and scanned by law professionals for consideration. Hii nataka kumaanisha kwamba, mtu anaweza kufungwa jela, halafu kufike mahali aseme sasa atafanya yaani (speaks in kikuyu), aseme atakiri. Mtu kama huyo akionekana wale professionals wa law wamusikilize, waangalie mambo yake na wamfanyie kesi vile anaweza kuwachiliwa. Haya, upande mwingine ni upande wa biashara. Law governing businesses should be viewed as follows: Noting Kenya is a poor and growing country, everyone must be allowed to have easy access to businesses without much restriction, because he is profiting the country. Thus, simple small-scale businesses must not be charged e.g. a roadside seller, hawkers, or may be a simple charcoal dealer, who is trying to earn his daily bread, and many others of the sort. Businesses should not be highly taxed to attract many in the field. Anyone should be allowed to use his useful knowledge to build the nation. For example, we have traditional doctors, and if proved fit by the ministry of health, they should be given a go ahead without much restriction. Traditional blacksmith industries should be encouraged to create job opportunities. Ile jambo lingine ambalo ningetaka kuzungumzia ni, mambo ya kigeni ambayo tumewekelea maanani sana na tunasahau na yetu. Na hapo nita-ellaborate nikisoma. We buy drinks such as whiskies, vodkas, from outside which have the same value with our local brews, and we deny our local brewers rights to produce their brews while it has the same value. Yaani hii ni kumaanisha ya kwamba, vinywaji kama whiskies, vodka, ziko class moja na chang’aa na mambo mengine ambayo yanatuharibu hapa. Yaani na vinywaji vingine ambavyo vinatengenezewa katika Kenya. Sasa tuna-promote wale watu wa nchi zingine, badala ya ku-promote watu wa hapa kwetu. Sasa yetu tunaiita yaani kinywaji cha kienyeji. Yaani vile ningetaka ifanywe ni hivi: wale watu tungewafunza good hygienic methods of brewing their drinks. Yaani tuwaonyeshe vile wangefanya hiyo pombe yao iwe ni mzuri na inatengenezwa kiafya. Kwa hivyo, hapo lazima constitution ijue mambo ya importing such brews and promote the local ones. By out-lawing these drinks, the government kills job opportunities and even it leads to jailing of important breadwinners of the families. And it also leads to loosing money to foreign investors. Also it is a brain washing and denying the locals their rights. Instead these brewers should be shown high hygienic methods and the toxic state of their brews. Interjection.
23 Haya, ile jambo lingine nilikuwa nataka kuzungumzia ni free education, Masomo tupate bure na serikali. Na ile ingine, jambo ambalo ni muhimu naona hapa, ni secondary education or higher education. Kuna unrest nyingi katika shule za sekondari. Kwa hivyo ningeonelea kuwe na koti ya wanafunzi wale ambao wanatenda makosa katika shule. Na wasifanyiwe expulsion yaani kuambiwa waende nyumbani lakini wapelekwe katika jela hizo. Na katika uombaji, or freedom of worship, serikali lazima iangalie ili sects kama devil worshipping isionekane katika Kenya. Haya na freedom of expression, na new land allocation. Yaani, shamba zilipeanwa hapa 1963, na hazijapeanwa zingine. Kwa hivyo, maoni yangu ni, kuwe kukipeanwa shamba baada ya kizazi, 30 years of age. Haya ahsante sana. Speaker: Wale ambao wamekuja hapa kutoa maoni, mpatie yule afisa wa Commission hapo a-record maanake tukimaliza lazima tuchukue hiyo karatasi twende tukaisome. Hata kama huna memorandum, ukimaliza jiandikishe tu kwamba umezungumza na umesikizwa. Na sasa ningependa kumkaribisha Mheshimiwa Bwana Mwangi Waithaka, tutakupatia muda tu wa kuwasalimia wananchi, halafu tutakupatia muda baadaye –kwa sasa unaweza kuwasalamia wananchi tu-, halafu tuendelee. Mwangi Waithaka: Hamjambo? (Hatujambo)! Speaker: Haya sasa tutamwita Joseph Njogu Ngure. Joseph Njogu Ngure, please welcome…Eee? Jina niko nalo hapa ni Joseph Njogu Ngure, ni wewe? Umesema wewe ni Ngure? Haya endelea. Joseph Njogu Ngure: (Speaks in Kikuyu) Translation: When I think about the people of Kinangop, I see that they have various problems. One of the things I would like the constitution to address is, that the young people should not be treated or be equal with the adults. As our country is, a person should be treated the way she or he is. Point number one: • Policeman should be given a salary that is sufficient for his work. He should not be the person who is to rob a person on the way. ♦ The second issue that is important is, that a farmer should not be asked, ‘where are you going’, any time. ♦ Third, I will speak this on my own behalf; this is how I feel. If a policeman can cause an obstruction or can stop us to know the way so that you don’t go to work tomorrow- the country is large- there should not be a person who is beyond 28 years old and is dependant on the parents. If there is land, and that land is idle, being inhabited by wild
