Grace,
Thank you for extending the debate to Monday. I hope I get time to
articulate some of the issues that will impact our lives in the next few
years. Earlier I said that we are not alone in how we are dealing with
our social development. I went ahead and gave examples from the US and
UK. Although it is an unfortunate for the British people, it has come to
pass. Even the Central Bank we got some good debate out of my post.
Leadership requires selfless commitment to the people they lead. It is a
sacrifice one makes. In this respect, I will seek for advisors who have
demonstrated ability to serve their country with dedication. We have
these people but they have never been given a chance to lead. The
constitution has accorded us the opportunity to search for such people.
If you read todays front page Standard, it has the requirement for those
who want to join the electoral commission. If we follow the requirement
to the letter, we shall get credible people. It is this process that
lacked before and political operatives took charge in many posts within
government.
Indeed there will be a policy guideline on all organizations registered
under Societies Act. It is in the interest of the public that these
organizations file annual returns to the registrar because they are tax
exempt. Tax exemption means that we the public partly fund their
activities. Further the state has a responsibility to protect its
citizens from being taken advantage of. We cannot burry our heads in the
sand on this issue no matter how sensitive it is. We shall also be
implementing our constitution with respect to Bill of Rights.
Regards
Ndemo.
