Kiongo Mwangi: I am Kiongo Mwangi by name, a Kenyan citizen, very simple and patriotic, and I’m a talker and joker by<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ession. I am going to be very quick indeed; and specifically I’ll talk along these areas:<br />

• Education<br />

♦ Separation <strong>of</strong> powers<br />

♦ Presidency<br />

♦ Political parties<br />

♦ Legislature<br />

♦ The process that should be followed while changing the constitution.<br />

Education: the 8-4-4 system does not work. For example, after the first 8years and then the second 4 years <strong>of</strong> secondary<br />

education, - you see that is where we get all the people, to go to the universities, to join the police force, agriculture colleges<br />

and what have you.- So, instead <strong>of</strong> having that 8-4-4, it should be scrapped and then be replaced with the older system, which<br />

was 7-4-2-3. So that, once the scholars have finished after the seven years <strong>of</strong> primary school course, we can have the second<br />

lot going to the form four. Some to be admitted there to join some sectors, others to go for the A-Levels, and there after, the<br />

final ones to go for the three years university education.
