49The Executive: Ministries should be run by technocrats but not necessarily by Members of Parliament. However, they shall besubject to vetting by Parliament. Only the Chief Executive and his Vice shall be required to be members of Parliament.Parliament shall control his own calendar to avoid ambushing the electorate during election time thus the date should bestipulated in the Constitution as to when elections shall be held.System of education: the government has been very unfair to local peasants concerning the 8-4-4 system of education. Thepeople in the government have always placed very defective system yet they take their sons and daughters abroad. I proposethe 7-4-3-2 sytem of education.Succession and transfer of power: the incumbent should maintain the Executive powers during Presidential elections. Electionshould be declared within 24 hours of elections thus, the President should win by over 50% of the peoples’ votes. TheSpeaker should swear in the in-coming President. The Constitution should make provision for security and welfare of formerPresidents but this should only happened if and when the outgoing President admits to ills and wrongs during his tenure.Amnesty shall be the prerogarive of the people of Kenya. It is the people of Kenya who should be asked whether toprosecuted or forgive, this shall be achieved through a refundum. Thank you.Com.

Another thing, Iwant APs to be intergrated to be only one thing with the police. Not to have APs, Police, GSU and etc this will eliminate the
