People should be given right to elect Chiefs and Sub-chiefs. Commissioners shouldnot be…… Members of Parliament and President should not exceed sixty five years so that they would represent the majorityof people. Any one who uses money to buy loyalty so that he would be elected should be disqualified after results. Study ofbasic law should start at a primary level. Salary of MPs should not be determined by the MPs but should be determined by adifferent committee. Law should be written in a language that every Kenyan can understand. Any order made by the Presidentshould not be taken as a law. That is all I have.Com. Bishop Njoroge: Thank you very much. Let us have Anne Miano.Anne Miano: Asante mwenyekiti.
