There are plans of favouring those who have lost an election. One who haslost an election should not qualify to be nominated as an MP or a councilor. The language test should be deleted and thecouncilors should have a minimum of primary education to qualify. MPs, form four leavers and above. A councilor should takeover from assistant chiefs, as it is a duplication of work and a waste of resources. Primary education must be compulsory andthe powers of the chief XXXX (inaudible) schools and those who refuse to be taken to court.On education: the Government should take a resolution of providing education facilities, physical infrastructures, in schools inNorth Eastern Province, as the cost-sharing policy in education has not been very successful, since the community living hereare 80% illiterate, compounded with poverty. The current campaign on education for all will not work if the service is not done.Education in North Eastern Province will not be for all by the year 2015. NEP peope are distinct social groups and theirinterest be catered in the new Constitution. University education should be made accessible to the people of North Eastern.
35On water: while the decentralized water usage in other regions is working well, I propose the Government must ensure that theyhave piped water system for every Kenya by 2007.On famine relief, the Government and donors, must scrap famine relief in North Eastern province and convert that money toincome generating projects like irrigation, to eliminate poverty. The famine relief programmes have no impact and have left thepeople of NEP dependent and hopeless always timing trailers as the process continued way back from _____ (inaudible). Thiscontradicts the current poverty eradication programme as they have been getting maize from investers, and still remain poor.The former livestock marketing division must be reintroduced and a central place be located for a meat commission where thepeople of NEP can market their livestock.We seriously need a Constitution that is going to achieve interests of wananchi. In so doing, the issuance of passport should bedecentralized to the provincial and district headquaters. We people of NEP are really segregated in the issuing of passports.The Government is really making our lifes more difficult. Members of Parliament should not decide their salaries andallowances, instead, an independent commission, separate from Parliament should collect views from the <strong>public</strong>, be appointedby religious groups, these are amounts the <strong>public</strong> offers. The Government has committed itself legally on paper and shouldconsider giving teachers their second, and other phases of their salaries’ award. There should be a clear scheme of service, forteachers where they can further their education. In North Eastern Province, dispensaries and health centers, medical provisionis not adequate. We even miss first aid kits in schools. Our solution is the provision of medical facilities be tendered by thedistrict tender board.Inheriting the wife of a deceased by sleeping is not only barbaric culture, but bound to spread Aids. The AIDS virus, as Islamdoes not not equally condon wife inheritance by relatives only. The chief kadhi has to give the wife of a deceased the liberty tomarry anybody by choice but remain a beneficiary of his property only. There should be a Kadhi’s court up to the High Court,who should address inheritance divorce, and etc.(inaudible interjection)Kenyans should have an identity card, only as proof of citizenship, and a passport and not discriminate by giving KenyanSomalis a screening card.On defence and issue of security, the administration police be scrapped as it is a colonial reign, instead, they should becombined with the regular police and given one name as “police”. I concure with the President being a commader in the armedforces, but he can be impeached.Parliament – Parliament there must be displine, and I will recommend, anyway I have done that.
