Com. Wanjiku: Thank you very much Mr. Githinji. (She speaks in Kikuyu,- calls names). George Kimani, Peter Mwangi, Paul
Kamau, The Reverend Samwel Ngaithie, Stanley Wambura, David Mwehia, Beth Wangari, Lilian (Inaudible), Charles
(inaudible), and Bethwel Kiarie.
George Kimani: I will talk more about farming. The reason as to why farmers have gone down is because they are not getting
funds. They are unable to purchase even fertilzer.
Working tools are also very expensive. A farmer in Kenyas has no insurance. After working hard and may be fail to sell his
products there is no compensation.
Farmers should have an ouncilor market, some that are here in Kenya, like the Pyretherum Board, Meat Commission, and
others, are not working well. The profit should go back to the farmers and share among themselves.
Importing products, which are produced here, should be abolished. A farmer should be protected.
Education. Books should last for four years to ten years. Not for books to be published in each and every year.
Com. Wanjiku: Thank you very much. (Speaks in Kikuyu)
George Kimani: Mimi ninaonelea, kwanza wakati wa uchaguzi, tunaona, kama ni makamu wa Rais, anachaguliwa na Rais.
Ningependa Rais awe akichaguliwa na raia, na pia makamu wake awe akichaguliwa na raia, na awe – makamu wa Rais awe na
uwezo, - awe na madaraka ya pili kutoka kwa Rais. Asiwe mtu wa kusimamishwa kazi na Rais, awe ni wa kusimamishwa kazi
na raia, wale wenye kumchagua.
Tena, ningependa Katiba ya Kenya, kama munachagua wabunge wanaenda bunge, wawe wakichagua mawaziri wenyewe. Hii
iwe kulingana na masomo ya mtu. Kama ni waziri wa kilimo, achaguliwe kulingana na masomo yake, au, wabunge wawe
wamemwangalia, wakaona kwamba anaweza kazi hiyo. Kwa maana Kenya ni nchi inayotegemea kilimo. Sio nchi inayotegemea
mafuta kama vile tunasema kwa Waarabu. Tunategemea kilimo. Na huu uchumi unazorota juu ya mambo ya kilimo. Kwa
maana wizara ya kilimo inapatiwa waziri yule ni mtu wa kuchunga, na hawezi kuendesha mambo ya kilimo na njia mzuri vizuri.
