52pastoral groups.I’m also requesting for madrasa education system to be recognized by the Government because we have graduates fromIslamic institutions and they are not recognized.Local Authority: I would suggest the minimum qualifications for councilors to be at least form 4 level. Local religious leaders tobe consulted when nominating councilors. Mayors/chairmen of local authorities, to be elected by the community directly andnot by councilors. Terms of office for mayors and chaimen should be increased to 5 years and not 2 years as it is currently.Taxation should be determined by the community.Trustlands – all salt lick areas must be opened to the public, all areas initially meant for drinking or water by livestock along theriver which we call Malka, should be opened to the public. All public lands, boreholes should be be opened to all Kenyans.All pastoralists to move freely from one area to another for the purpose of grazing. This is a pastoralist communinity, wedepend on livestock, and our livestock is being eaten by wild animals every now and then and we don’t get any compensation.I will suggest the following measures:- A human being whether one is a man or woman - 1.5 million to be compensated by the Government.- Livestock for any luctating camel – 30,000 to be compensated.- Expectant camel, you know camel is our backbone – 25,000- Female camel between the age of 3-6 years - 15,000- Female camels between the age of 1-2 years – 10,000- Male camel between the age of 8-15 years – 20,000- Male camel between the age of 4-7 years – 15,000- Lactating cow – 25,000- Expectant cow – 20,000- Female cow between the age of 4-10 years – 15,000- Female cow between the age of 1-3 years - 10,000.- Goats/sheep – 2,000- Donkeys of all types – 8,000.Thank you for listening to me.Abdirashid Maalim Mohamed: My name is Abrish Maalim Mohamed, and I would like to give my opinion on theConstitution review process in Kenya, and the first one is basic rights.I suggest that our Constitution’s provisions for fundamental rights are inadequate therefore; certain provisions like social rightsshould be included. What I mean; social rights include the social system welfare. I also propose that, though the Constitutionguarantees the right to life, death penalty should also be put in place and should not be abolished. The Constitution should havethe responsibility ensuring that all Kenyans enjoy the basic rights such as education, employment and etc.
