50number of people who head those institutions. Another thing, to enable the Kenyan people to stay a modern life, I wouldadvocate that roads, telephones, to be in every constituency and every village so that communication can be easy and thisshould be decided at the district level not in the centralized in the city. Parastatal chiefs to be vetted by stakeholders in theindustry because, we don’t want parastatal heads to be imposed on certain institutions because some people are imposed on usare just corrupt agents of the people who have given them this powers. The government should not have a role in managingfactories or industries, they should only have shares, and also people who head those companies should not be appointed, theyshould go through a vigorous interview.Com. Bishop Njoroge: Give us the last point.Bramuel watiti: The last point- I am just about to finish sir. Water to be available to everybody so that irrigation and otherproblems can be eradicated. Education be made free. Chiefs, DCs, DOs even PC’s be elected by the people. Salaries foraskaris be increased so that they cannot be very corrupt. Also electricity be made available so that we can haveindustrialization. We should have also few ministries, non working class to be given assistance, agricultural produce be paid tothe farmer without delay so that people can use their money. Lastly, is that the government which is in power should be basedon the Ten Commandments of God to rule the country and corrupt servants and parastatal heads and even the President shouldbe made to pay for any ills that he has committed while in office. I hope that all views which have been given by everybody willbe taken into consideration and be effected. Thank you very much.Com. Bishop Njoroge: Thank you very much. You have given us very important views. Can we have Geoffrey Were?Charles Masika amezungumza? Hayuko. Martin Kwata, utamfuata.Geofrey Were: My names are Geofrey Njukhilile Were. I come before you Mr. Commissioners sir, to air this proposals thatKenyans must be ensured by KBC and other media of impartial and equal coverage regardless of political parties and so on.Most of Kenyans are now tuning to foreign media coverage like BBC because, they are peope who cannot hide reportingevents which have happened in current Kenyan society.Two, I also reject the concept of one party system but multiparty is welcome but with at least, 3 political parties. I alsopropose that all votes cast must be counted at the same polling station and then the results relayed to a central place. That is toeradicate (inaudible) and other (inaudible) on way during transportation of ballot boxes. Corrupt people; those who haveembezzled public funds and so on, the law should take its course as stated and they must not be allowed to contest any electiveoffice in the land. Ambassadors representing Kenya overseas should have the right to air their views on the political situation inour country just like the ambassadors of other countries here in Kenya do. We should not be suspicious about them.Com. Bishop Njoroge: You think that one can enter into the Constitution?
