95and am not going to repeat. Thank you.Com. Keriako Tobiko: Thank you very much. Peter Muriuki.James Kamau.James Kamau: Honorable Commissioners and other distinguished guests I am going to be very brief and my names areJames Kamau from Baraka Praise Church. I am the Chairman of indigenous churches council of Kenya – ICCK, Nyeri district.I am also an aspirant councilor here in Karatina. I do hereby recommend the following in our future Constitution.First: The duties of a Chief to be performed by an elected Councilor and that will minimize the expenditure. I would alsorecommend that the term of a Councilor and an MP to be two terms each comprising of five years - Just as it is the case withour present President. I also recommend that a Mayor should be elected directly by the members of the public and not byCouncilors. I also wish to say that a Councilor should have a minimum of form four or its equivalent. I also say that all politicalparties should be funded by the government according to their strength in Parliament, and the churches also to be funded by thesame government.Judiciary also should be independent from the government. That is Judges should not be government appointees since they willbe loyal to their bosses but not to the law. The President should not be the Chief – in command of the Armed Forces as it is thecase in Kenya since Kenya is not ruled by the military but by democracy.Heads of Parastatal and the other government organizations should be discussed by the Parliament and they should be vetted.The second person during the general elections should be an automatic Vice President. I also wish to say that the governmentshould comprise of all political parties who are in Parliament.Commissioners, I would also come to penal code and say that the death penalty should be abolished from our penal code sinceour Constitution is Biblically based, and the Bible forbids killing. Any registered church…Com. Keriako Tobiko: Wind up please.James Kamau: I am in the last point. Any registered church or Ministry should not give a cover to another church in order tominimize churches in Kenya which are causing divisions. Thank you.Com. Keriako Tobiako: Thank you so much. Esther Mido.Esther Mido: I am not going to repeat what has been said but I will only highlight few things. Education: The form of educationwe have today is very tiring and we should have like what we had before. Those who are of my age you know what we used to
