96call Carlie Francis maths. That one was good because everyone of us was kind of unified when it came to Mathematics.Com. Keriako Tobiko: What do you recommend Mum?Esther Mido: I recommend that we have one system of…..if it is Mathematics, we have something like that which we hadbefore. Not having so many writers of the Mathematics books. Then foreign affairs: We have so many tourists who come to thiscountry but some of them,nobody knows exactly how they come because they come in backward ways; We would like torecommend that our foreign affairs should tighten our boundaries so that we do not have the neighbouring people becomingKenyan citizens.Another thing on foreign affairs. We Kenyans find it so hard to get a passport and yet it is our Constitutional right. I think thatyou should recommend that it should be very easy to get one as it is when you get an ID.Coming to the Basic Rights: I think everyone of us should have a fundamental Right of what he thinks and we want you to spell…..to make it clear…..to be a very clear policy that we should have freedom of speech that one could speak what he thinks.Because one’s opinion can be a public opinion.Environment: I want to talk about the precious stones that are found within the Kenyan environment, when it comes to sellingthem, you find that it is only very few Kenyans of African Oasis dealing with them. I wonder why this is so, yet those stones areour own. I recommend that whatever is produced within Kenya’s environment should be done by a Kenyan of African origin.Another thing is that we have the African Kenyans who are citizens by papers and then we have African Kenyans who arecitizens by birth. I think this one should be taken care of because it seems we are caring for foreigners more than we are caringfor our own people. When it comes to the voting, we have other people who are not within the reach of voting. Take forexample those who are…..Com. Keriako Tobiko: Mama just give us the recommendations and try to wind up. Just be brief.Esther Mido: The prisoners should be given a right to vote when it comes to the time of voting. The people who are sick in thehospitals should be taken care of.Judiciary. We have the law and we say that we are guided by the law. But how do we execute our laws? So many of us do notknow how our laws are executed. When it comes to Courts, either of the Lower Court or the High Court, one does not knowwhich language to use because……especially …. am …..talking here on women. Women should be educated on what is theirBasic Rights. Thank you.
97Com. Keriako Tobiko: Thank you so much. Margaret Nyambura, James Mureithi, Mwangi Mutanya, James Weru.James Weru: Thank you Honorable Commissioner. I have very brief points and I will give them very briefly. First I have notedthat our current Constitution has no preamble. I recommend that when you are making this Constitution you come up with agood preamble with a national democratic vision.Number two: I would like to say our independence war veterans have never been recognized in this country like we have in theother countries of Africa and elsewhere in the world. There should be a system whereby these people are recognized for thework they did. I would also like to say the same independent war veterans were promised compensation in form of land ormoney and other things. But it has never been done. I would recommend that these people be compensated by the Britishgovernment who caused the stragety which was done in this country during the Mau Mau war. The government should putpressure for these people to be compensated because these people are dying in poverty right now.Number three: There should not be nominated members of Parliament, and if any, they should not be appointed to CabinetPosts in this country.Education: We should have a free and compulsory education. We should also have our learning institutions such as primary andSecondary schools and others audited every year.Grabbing: I would recommend that you come up with a system where we can we have a body dealing seriously with thegrabbers in this country - especially in land, councils, municipalities and such. Provincial Administration: I would say theProvincial Administration serve no purpose in this country these days. So, I recommend that it should be scrapped out of thegovernment and the powers and duties be left to the elected members like Councilors e.t.cCom. Keriako Tobiko: Okay, Fine. Just wind up.Esther Mido: Mayors and council chairmen should be elected directly by members of the public. The Review: The making ofthe Constitution, Review and all amendments to the Constitution should be done through public referendum. Our environmentlike forests and other catchments, - water catchment areas should be protected by the government. Our agricultural sectorshould be totally liberalized such as coffee, tea, sugar and others to make the farmer have a say. I would also like to say that themarketing of our farm produce should also be liberalized.Com. Keriako Tobiko: Now your time is up.
