100Constitution, so that at l<strong>east</strong>, we revisit that issue because the future is also based on the past. We cannot just simply forgetbecause some people have come up with an indemnity act, and forget that we have lost our people.Because we have no time, I will also generally say that the Constitution we should have should be one that is in English,kiswahili, and because of the region aspect. The predominant vernaculars in those regions also should be part of the officiallanguage. This Constitution should be one that is accessible. You see we went through schools and up to universities, andnever have we seen the Kenya Constitution. I will therefore propose that the Kenyan Constitution that we are formulating, bepart of the school curriculum, and should be available in libraries and distributed free of charge.I will end by saying that the Preamble in this Constitution should be one that will take a good note of the people, and when I saythe people, people are made of tribes. There is no need as to why we should say ukabila ni kitu mbaya and then at the end ofthe day, we are all from coming from tribes. That is going to appreciate the fact that there are 42 tribes in this country, that isgoing to take care of our religion as Kenyans, its going to take care of the values of these people and their traditions.Lastly, there is a big aspect of Constitution that is happening to day, in these very arid areas and the whole of African society,and that is the issue of our own traditions. We govern ourselves through our own local traditions. I will wish the Constitutionto be one that is going to give these local traditions, their rightful places, in the Kenyan Constitution.Com. Baraza: You talked about need for dual citizenship because of your border relation, supposing we give you that butEthiopia doesn’t respect it, and if Somalia doesn’t respect it, you see you could have a document which is of no use to you?How are you sure that it is going to work?Abdulahi: What I mean is, if I imagine as a mother your daughter is married to somebody from across, and then by virtue ofour own relationship, your in-laws come and visit you, and tomorrow the police will come there and say you are keeping analien in your house, this is what we are avoiding. But for the Somalia and Ethiopia we already go there, as I speak to you someof the animals that went from this side, could be Somalia. We have never had problems with them. We have never hadproblems in Ethiopia for we only had problems in the country we say we belong to, and that is Kenya. That’s why we areasking in this Constitution, we should be allowed to have that dual citizenship. They even don’t require that citizenship you aretalking about.Com. Baraza: If there is a mechanism of easing your movement, would it matter that you have a one citizenship or that you arefree to move to Ethiopia or Somalia, and nobody harasses you because your relatives have come here or you have gone acrossthe border? Would it matter …….?Abdulahi: Surely if even the form of governance we talk about by ourselves, governing this area, is granted then we should not
101have that problem.Type……..Noor Ahmed: Noor Ahmed.Translator:He is greeting the visitors who have come.Noor Ahmed: Wathsalamatixin martitha manta noimatey.
