33Com. Bishop Njoroge: Okay. Fine. Thank you so much. That was good presentation. It will find its way where it is supposedto go. Can we have Grace Muathe? Yuko.Grace Muathe: Ni ndamugeithia inyuothe. Thank you for giving me this chance to give my personal views about the Kenyayetu. I am Grace Wandia Muathe from Tumutumu. I have a few points which I think should be used to help us get forward.First, I should say that we should have God as our guide in the whole Republic because we have set God aside at the moment- we don’t refer him, although he was referred to in the Constitution when we said ‘Eeh Mungu Nguvu yetu’ . Sasatumeondoka kutoka hapo, tukamweka chini, tukaendelea mbele bila Mungu.Elections should be free of party policy. Any criminal should not hold public office. The President should be a family man.Professionals also should hold, or should lead in any public office. E.g. if it is a health department, it should be headed by adoctor not any other professional.Jobs: I suggest that we should have one job one office. Not more than that. Handling office: If it is the Office of the President,the office of the President should not suggest who is to take over even if it was his or her task.No employee even if it is the MP, the President should set his or her own salary. No long cases should be kept in courtbecause, I believe that long delay gives no justice.No one should be landless if he or she is born in Kenya. These are my few points. Thank you Mr. Chairman.Com. Bishop Njoroge: Thank you very much.Com. Lethome: I have a small question for you. You suggested very well that our President lazima awe ni family man. Naakina mama utawaacha wapi?Grace Muathe: The President should be a family man or a family lady.Com. Bishop Njoroge: Thank you very much Madam. You have put on a very good condition. Thank you. Engineer JamesGachegu?Engineer James Gachegu: Mr. Chairman, although I have a written memorandum. I would like to just go through a bit of itbecause I am confining my views particularly to the Legislature, not withstanding that there are other organs in government.
