I would like this Constitution to look more on corruption which itshould be stopped from the high offices going downwards. The other one is on drugs abuse. The Constitution should careabout and stop completely the uses of drugs by the youth. Judiciary in Kenya should be independent.Primary education should be free and the government should supply for the necessities as it was in the early years. On religions,we have some people with beliefs that they do not take their children to hospitals when they are sick, or even to school foreducation.That one should be looked into and the Constitution ensures that everyone is given his or her right. Economicalactivities should be protected. Retirement age should be reduced may be to between forty-five and fifty. Taxpayer’s moneyshould be managed by the Parliament and budgeted for. Cooperative societies’ Act should be reviewed to cater for the benefitof the members. On schools, the heads and the deputies should be given a higher grade after their appointments. ThenMembers of Parliament and the Councilors should be at least of Diploma or Degree level to be appointed. In schools,committee members and the BOG members should be of O’level ……thank you.Com. Keriako Tobiko: Umemaliza? Peter Maina.James Mwangi.James Mwangi Muthiga: I am James Mwangi Muthiga a sub-candidate of Uma patriotic of Kenya Kiamukuu Location. Myfirst thing is to talk about corruption. Corruption should be treated as a murder case particularly of high-tech corruption.I will talk about the Ex Mau Mau freedom fighters. They should be given the first priority to enjoy what they fought for. Thus,Dedan Kimathi as a hero should be exhumed and be buried with respect by his family. All freedom fighters should have a paysalary from the government for they are living in absolute poverty. There must be a Mau Mau day rather than….. Moi day butMau Mau day. Because it pays a lot.Com. Keriako Tobiko: How about Kenyatta day?
