52Com. Bishop Njoroge: Thank you very much. You are saying a girl should not be given inheritance?Geofrey Watiti: A girl must not inherit land but other items, she may be allowed.Com. Bishop Njoroge: Thank you very much, come and register here. Martin Kwata? Watiti how old are you?Watiti: I am 30 years old?Com. Bishop Njoroge: Are you married?Watiti: I am married with three kidsLaughterMartin Kwata: Mr. Chairman and other people, I salute you. I will start with my names; My names are Martin Kwata. Ihave few points to make before you. First and foremost, is that judges or those working under Judiciary, always go onretirement at about 85 years. That tenure should be reduced to 55 to enable other people to come into office. Most of us havetalked about chiefs being elected to office. I am against that point because if Chiefs or Assistant Chiefs are elected to office,they will be serving wananchi rather than serving the government. But if, on that point proper vetting or- somebody qualifying tobe a chief or an assistant chief must quality fully with a level of education. Also, these offices should be transferable. Peopleshould be transferable so that if somebody messes up with his duties, he is transferred to another sub-location or location.Concerning bicycle transportation: Boda boda as it is known in Western Kenya and Nyanza, is not gazetted in the Kenyagazette. This should be gazetted and be made a business whereby roads should be build to allow them even operate in town.Concerning street children; juvinile deliquent institutions ought to be built in every district so that, they may be given educationby government. This will also include Aids orphaned children. They should be given education through juvinile deliquenthomes. Proper taxations should be made to enable education to be free- I mean direct taxation concerning the rich and theemployed in Kenya. I mean that the workers should be taxed directly. On illegal beer or illegal brew, this is what I may say;when we arrest, the arrest is “disorderliness” not the real beer. Although it can be legalized, but when we legalize let say, busaaand chang’aa we arrest the disorderliness in people and not the real beer- I hope my point is taken and judment must be takenstraight away in court.Com. Bishop Njoroge: Are you saying that those who drink and are not disorderly should not be arrested?

53Martin Kwata: Yes. On that point judgement should be passed on whoever is disturbing other people after taking beer. Heshould be taken direct to court and not through the police. In the Chiefs Act Sec. 28 of the Kenya law, the Chief is allowed toemploy anybody to help him in his duties but the village elders are not paid. I may say that village elders be given salaries toreduce corruption at their level of working. To reduce cases pending in courts, courts should be built to the divisional level andnot only to the district level so that, there would more courts in every district for everyday judgement. Lastly, on corruption, Imay say, those working should be given enough salaries depending on the job groups. That is all I had.Com. Bishop Njoroge: I am very happy with you presentation, thank you very much. Immanuel Khisa? Sylvester Wamalwa?Atafuatwa na Jimmy Enamuli Ngoli. Yuko wapi? Jimmy yuko? Utamfuata.Sylvester Wamalwa: The Commissioners in this function, I am SylvesterWamalwa from Galolia. I have some proposals concerning the ID issue. In fact, the exercise has become a very expenivebecause those---Interjection. Com. Bishop Njoroge: Can you just come straight to the point. If you want ID to be given without anyconstraint --Sylvester Wamalwa: The ID should be given freely. Changing of names to the ---Interjection. Com. Bishop Njoroge: There are people who would want to give their memorandums and they do not want tospeak or to address us. They can come to the programme officer and give their memorandum. Ikiwa kuna mtu ambaye hatokikuzungumza na ana memorandum, anaweza kuja hapa na kujiandikisha na kupeana hiyo memorandum.Sylvester Wamalwa: Therefore, the ID should be given freely. Also changing of names among the people, you find it is veryexpensive whereby, you need to pay a lot for the exercise – you have pay 300/-.Com. Bishop Njoroge: Don’t tell us what you do, tell us what you want us to put ---Sylvester Wamalwa: I propose that the exercise should be free of charge. Secondly, the doctors in hospitals should bedisciplined. You find that some of them neglect their work. Where a patient needs to be attended, you find that they cannoteven take care of him. Therefore, I propose that the doctors in the hospitals should be disciplined so that they can promoteefficiency. Also the HIV; I propose that the government should, at least, find a way of defeating this dangerous disease- thereshould be a law on this so that people do not have to die daily of this disease.Com. Bishop Njoroge: I haven’t understood, can you read it again?
