32Members of Parliament: They must be University graduates and must have higher degree or diploma or in Management andAdministration. They must be of good sound mind and must have certificate of good conduct.The President, they must have Masters degree from University and must have higher degree in Management. He must have acertificate of good conduct.The powers of the President should be minimized; Any Presidential trip abroad must be approved by the Parliament. AnyPresidential appointments and especially in the Civil Service must be approved by the Parliament.The President should be given a lIST by Parliament, for the members of Parliament who are to be chosen as the Ministers andother staff who are behind various Departmental Heads.The President should not fire and hire Ministers or Departmental Heads at will without the consent of the Parliament. TheParliament on its own should be independent and the members of Parliament should decide on their own calendar. TheParliament should ensure that Ministers, Permanent Secretaries and Departmental Heads are appointed according to theirprofession.On the economy, the Kenya country must be struck out from COMESA market or region. As this would help in ensuring thatthere is no cheap on importation of goods which are manufactured locally like sugar, milk and dairy products. All those whohave corrupted various institutions of the government must be forced to repay that money plus the interest that money couldhave earned from that specific time. All persons accused of corruption must be hanged because many people have suffered…….in supporting local industries and should cater for better training of personnel managing the industry. All retirees should notbe appointed as Chairmen or Directors of industries because their worthiness in government is of no use. Thank you.Com. Bishop Njoroge: You know it is meant to be useful. But one day you will retire and I would like you to come and giveviews. Umesema President ili asimame kiti ya President, he must have a certificate of good conduct. Hii certificate anatoa kwanani? You recommend a body that will give a certificate of good conduct.Samuel Ngugi: I believe that to get a certificate of good conduct, it should state that he or she must not have been involved incriminal deals.Com. Bishop Njoroge: Who is going to give that Certificate?Samuel Ngugi: The Attorney General or the Chief Justice.
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.
