verbatim report of constituency public hearings ... - ConstitutionNet

50Dini zimeandikishwa zaidi ya elfu moja. Dini ziwe zikichunguzwa kutoka sasa. Na ikiwa dini inaleta mambo ambayo sio yakupinga na Serikali lakini inahubiri vibaya, mambo ambayo tunajua sasa wanahubiri sijui ingine ni pesa, ni mingi - Iondolewekwa register. Dini ikionekana inaendesha mambo ambayo si mzuri, iondolewe kwa register.Nafikiri ya mwisho nitazungumzia mambo ya uchaguzi na elimu. Mmeona watu wengine ambao hawana elimu nyingi wanafanyakazi nyingi hata kushinda wale wako na elimu kwa hiyo kazi. Kwa hivyo, elimu ya Mbunge ikiwa ni Form four, inaweza kufaa.Mtu anaingia kule akiwa Form four. Kwa sababu hapa tumekuwa na mwingine hata wa Form two, na amefanya hata zaidikushinda watu wa degree. Kwa hivyo, watu wa Council, mimi naonelea akiwa anajua Kiingereza na Kiswahili akubaliwekuchaguliwa kwa sababu wengi wanafanya vizuri. Hata pengine unaweza ona watu wa Form four wa 1950’s kwa siasa.

I am calling for its abolishment immediately ifpossible. Their role can comfortably be taken over by the elected leaders and the regular police who I believe, if properlyfunded, equipped and their welfare catered for, can do a lot for our nation. This will reduce government expenditure and bemore effective. The Provincial Administration doesn’t often serve ordinary people.Com. Bishop Njoroge: Excuse me Mr. Wahome. If you make a point like, “I want Provincial Administration to be abolished,”you have already made your point. Now these are Kenyans they know what is Provincial Administration, so you do not need togo higher because we need as many people to talk. Sawa sawa?Stephen Warui Wahome: Point taken. Another thing we want abolished is the quota system. Quota system infact encourageslaziness and tribalism in our nation. We therefore, want it abolished. Just imagine you were in one class with….
