An Interview
- Would you vote for the new draft constitution? Why?
Yes, I would vote for it, because I believe that it would bring many positive changes in the country especially in land reforms and the political arena.
- Do you think MPs should be Ministers? Why?
No, I don’t think so, because they wouldn’t be able to perform their duties efficiently. The work load for the Ministers is large and the MPs also have to look after their constituents.
- Are there any other matters you disagree or agree with?
Yes, I disagree with the land policy because many people would be deprived of their land as the draft constitution states that you can only have about 2.5 hectares of land and the rest would be taxed. This is unfair for those small scale farmers who are trying to earn a decent living.
- What do you think about other matters that concern MPs e.g. taxation?
Whatever has been proposed about the MPs is fine. They should be taxed because they earn more than the common Mwanainchi who provide for them.
5. What areas of development do you think MPs should concentrate with most in their constituencies?
Infrastructure, sanitation, health and education.
6. Would the separation of duties help Kenyans in any way?
Yes, there would be better service provision to the Mwanainchi and they would be more accountable.
7. Should an MP be allowed to carry on with his/her term of office even after they have proven that they cannot deliver services to the people?
No, there is no need of keeping somebody in office who does not deliver or honor his/her promises.
Mwanainchi friendly, open-minded and one who is ready to go an extra mile to help his people.
By being more accountable for example, if a Minister is involved in any scandal, they should be able to resign immediately instead of holding on to their office even if they know they have done wrong.

ReplyDeletethank you all so much for commenting on my blog.. What do you think, should MPs be Ministers? Why?.. What do you think other issues that are brought up in the Draft Constitution regarding MPs e.g. taxation?
ReplyDeleteGreat work Samara =)
ReplyDelete..xx..
i think MPs shouldn't be Ministers at the same time because it will slow down their duties and will not be able to be involved fully in one of their offices. You have a great blog Samara.. I loved it and it was very informative.. I have learnt a lot to do with the Draft Constitution because of your blog and the links that you have added. Great work.. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteWOOOW!!! I DONT EVEN knw wat 2 say am just lookin at the background samara i kind of advice everything is greaat ur writin shuld hve been a darker color so that ma grandma can see it 2..XxXx...keep it up ;)
ReplyDeletei dont think MPs should not be ministers, because i believe Kenya needs the money which it would otherwise not get by having MPs not paying taxes. also, if all the MPs became Ministers, the title of being a Minister would not be as looked up to as if there were only 14-24 people in the country with the 'honorable' status. does a country have to increase the salary to those who serve two purposes: being both a Minister AND an MP?
ReplyDeleteApart from that, this is absolutely amazing and i would never have been able to come up with something like this...im so, so proud of you and you're a star :)
nice blog and good usage of color....
ReplyDeletein my opinion, i dnt think MP's should be ministre at the same time because all the duties they have might become slower and not an equal amount of wrk will be dne or as the right amount of wrk to be dne should actully be.. also the different positions will not be looked it so closeley, most people would go for the same position and forget about the other one...
different from that i think that your blog is amazing
overall, good work.......
in my opinion i think its unfair for an MP to be a minister as well because they are taking two jobs whilst some people don't have any jobs.
ReplyDeleteThey'll also will not be able to get the jobs done properly beacause they are doing too many things at once.
nice job sammy
In my opinion i think that it is good 4 the MPs to minister the government rather than have a constitution as easier and people can contribute ideas to improve rather than decisions from 1 person instead.
ReplyDeletevery good blog i agree with you completelyy!! i dont think mps should me ministers though! :)) good work!!
