Being that General Oto is in the mashinanis where there is no internet doing Civic Education, I take this opportunity on his behalf and at his request to post Chapters 11 and 12 of the draft KATIBA.
Chapter 11: Devolved Government
Recognizes diversity, gives power of self governance,enhances participation and decision making at grassroots besides allowing communities to manage their affairs as best suits their needs and particular circumstances. It promotes equitable sharing of national resources such that no community will ever be marginalized that makes The Presidency a do or die affair during elections.
Ensures services are brought closer to the people through county governments and ensures not more than 2/3 of members of the county govt. will be comprised of one gender; women, isn’t this course to vote for KATIBA?
Chapter 12. Public Finance
Encourages openness, accountability and participation in Financial Management such as The budget making process. Ensures the burden of taxation shall be shared by all meaning MPs will never avoid taxes!!!
Equitable expenditure will ensure equitable development of the country without any region being left behind or marginalized. This is reason for every marginalized community or groups to vote YES.
National Revenue will be shared equitably with all county governments and an Equalization Fund will be established to ensure the government has resources to mitigate and intervene to cushion underdevelopment of some regions by providing basic necessities such as water, health,roads, etc. It means, with the 1/2% of National revenue every year, we can begin saving to develop areas such as Mandera, Turkana,Pokot, Garissa and all marginalized areas and ensure they get the kind of services enjoyed by others all over the country.
Matters of management of national and county funds, borrowing, procurement of public goods and services at any government level are all captured herein, procurement which has been the epitome of corruption, must now be open, competitive and transparent. It is in the constitution.
Otieno Sungu.
On behalf of General Oto.
NB: ALL those KATIBA lovers, make sure this gets to all those blogs Oto belongs to above, I am not in some of them, Kuria Mwangi, are you listening??
