The Majimbo System as i understand it, does not devide people, as many
think of it, it is a form of government whereby each and every region can
develope from its resources unlike the central government whereby the
regions have to wait the share from the central government, in most cases
decided by the cabinet whereby it depends if the decision has been passed
by the president of the republic.
Let us educate our people the right meaning of majimbo(federal government)
countries like Germany has prospered in it because each and every region
has not been left behind as you will agree with me that it is easier to
rule and even better understand the problem of a small house with a number
of 2- 3 members of a family than a house 100-200 members of family, there
will be a president or head of each province who will better govern his
region than what is now happening in Kenya, some of our leaders as MPs do
not have any access to talk to the president of the repuplic as they are
not cabinet members hence they can not present their problems as they look
forward to be appointed while their constituecy are lagging behind, the
majimbo system will force the president of the republic of Kenya to look
into each and every region's problems as that would be the only way for him
to be recognised by the people of each region, we will be able to elect our
members of parliament who will have to serve us and not sleeping in the
parliament as most at the moment do due to fear to be sacked as cabinet
members or being loyal with a hope of being appointed a cabinet member. The
government as a whole will be able to discuss the issue of each region and
help those which are not in a position.
The majimbo system does not mean that when one comes from Coast province
can not work or live in western, that is not what the system mean, people
are free to move to all parts of the country but the taxes in each region
will be of benefit to the region in accodardance to decision met by the
heads of the region unlike today whereby the most developed parts of the
country are those where the president/cabinet members of the term come
from. This encourage every one to fight to become a president/cabinet
member so that his region/constituency can be better in terms of
everything.
For instance, it took long for the government to realise the construction
of the roads of Coast Province forgetting that tourism which contributes a
lot to the wealth of the country is based in the coast simply because each
MP elected was sitting in the parliament with the hope of being appointed a
cabinet member forgetting his duties to serve his people for last years of
central government! Before a problem reached the president of the republic
of Kenya, it took years hence its solution while in majimbo system, we will
hold immediate president/head of the region responsible who is very nearer
to the normal mwananchi than the former.
You will agree with me that it needs Obama to make an appointment with the
kenyan president for a month/year unlike a normal mwananchi to a regional
president/head.
For instance, i am 38years old and i have never shaken hand with the kenyan
president leave away the local MP who was once a cabinet member simple
because he lives in Nairobi and i used to live in Kilifi, very far from
him! I will live to remember the various trips i made to the Area MPs
residence of my constituency back in 1987 when i was chased from school
because of school fees and was not able even to see him because he had to
leave early in the morning for Nairobi to attend government functions, this
time the area MP will have his government function at the nearest place and
will have no excuse.
I live in Europe and i am seeing the benefit of federal/Majimbo system,
people have to wake up now and forget about tribalism otherwise i would not
be working in this country if the world would be looking federal system the
way some kenyans do.
