I am signing this petition because I also believe our constitution is flawed and set us for failure. 1. I believe institutional arrangements should be reset to allow for accountability and efficient delivery of service. I believe a. The OSP must be made completely independent. The OSP must have a board with representation from academia, labor unions, student associations, civil society groups, trade and employment associations with representation from from the major political parties restricted to only one each from the two major political parties. The OSP board must then be in charge of advertising and recruitment of a competent OSP with fixed terms of office and budgets not determined by the executive. b. We must find a way of isolating the security command from an overbearing executive whilst this is counterbalanced by an independent PIPS to ensure citizens are also not abused by our security forces. 2. I believe the positions of MMDCEs must be elected with the right of parties to sponsor candidates. This must go with full and proposer devolution of power with MMDCS taking full responsibility for local economic development, education at primary and secondary level as well as health at pre tertiary levels, local housing and infrastructure development among others. 3. The economic potentials of our SOEs must be unleashed. This requires SIGA being reformed to be truly independent so they can appoint board of directors, the practice where CEOs are appointed by the president must cease for corporate boards to appoint their own CEOs. SIGA must set annual performance targets as part of recruitment and renumeration indicators. 4. We must consider some sort of a state funding of political parties so politicians can excite their political mandate without being too much beholding to political financiers. 5. The Internal Audit Agency, the Auditor General etc must be strengthened and made more independent. 6. Citizens petition. The constitution must allows the gathering of signatures by citizens with a certain minimum number of petition necessitating action to be taken on such petitions by which ever body is mandated to act. These are a few of my thoughts though not exhaustive

Every sovereign constitution must seek the full extent of the pursuit of complete constructive happiness, made-for-mankind perspective, affluences and safety of the people especially the youths. And this I believe the 1992 constitution has failed in that wavelength, so there is a serious need as matter of life and death to be voted adversus for an era of a brand new people-youth document to be inscribe.
