Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Kivu ni matunda ya siku
nyingi ya mateso ya Watu wa Kivu kwa ajili ya ukombozi na Uhuru Mkuu wa Taifa
na pia ulinzi wa mipaka za masultani wa kiasili wa makabila yake, na uhifadhi
wa upekee wa mila yao, umoja wa historia yao, umoja wa Asili zao, na umoja
wa Lugha yao ya Kiswahili.
Wanaonesha waziwazi nia yao ya kuishi kama
watu huru, Wanazingatia haki yao na msimamo wao wa kutaka kuongoza na kuendesha
mambo yao wenyewe.
Watu wa Kivu wanatambua umuhimu wa kufikilia
kuendesha uchumi na maendeleo yao na kusimika Taifa lenye uhaki, wanaamua
kukubaliana kutumia Katiba ifwaytayo:
KIPENGELE 4.- Amba, Bemba, Bembe, Bhele, Buyu,
Fuliiru, Havu, Hunde, Joba, Kabwari, Kanu, Komo, Kwami, Lega-Mwenga, Lega-Shabunda,
Mvuba, Nande, Nyanga, Nyindu, Rwanda, Shi, Songa, Swahili, Talinga-Bwisi,
Tembo; ndizo lugha za kitaifa za Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Kivu.
KIPENGELE 38.- Raisi wa Jamhuri ndiye Kichwa
cha Taifa na Kamanda Mkuu wa Majeshi, ila si Kamanda wa Polisi ya Taifa, kwa
kuwa Polisi ni kiungo huru mbali na Serikali.
Jukumu kuu la Raisi ni kuchunga utekekezaji
wa Katiba (Constitution) na umoja wa Taifa nzima, na kuhakikisha Kivu nzima
ina vifaa vyote vya kujipigania na kulinda Raia wake.
KIPENGELE 86.- Mamlaka ya Asili ya Mila (Kutoka
kwa mababu): Mamlaka ya Asili ya Mila yanatambuliwa na Katiba ya Jamhuri ya
Muungano wa Kivu, kufuatana na Asili za mahali, ikiwa hazitapingana na Katiba
ya Umoja, Sheria zake, Usalama wa Raia, vifungo vya Haki za kibinaadamu, na
misingi ya uhuru. Kila Sultani anaalikwa kushiriki ndani ya uongozi mzuri
wa Taifa na anaalikwa kupata Kiti katika Baraza kuu la Watambo (Masultani)
wa Muungano wa Kivu.
Baraza Kuu la Watambo wa Muungano wa Kivu ni
chumba kikuu cha Bunge la Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Kivu, ambalo laitwa kwa kawaida
“Baraza Kuu”. Raisi wa Jamhuri, Baraza la Wabunge na Baraza Kuu
pamoja, vyaunda Ubunge wa Kivu. Viti vya Baraza Kuu ni kimoja kwa kila usultani,
Vinaongezwa na viti vingine 12 vya ziada (Extra) vinavyopewa kwa watu Waheshimiwa
Wazaliwa wa Kivu ambao walitambuliwa kuwa wamefanya mambo mengi mazuri kwa
Taifa la Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Kivu.
Viti vya Baraza la Wabunge (Chumba Kidogo)
vyachukuliwa na Raia wa inchi walioteuliwa katika uchaguzi Mkuu huru wa kidemokrasia
kwa jumla.
Cheo kamili rasmi cha Baraza Kuu ni “Waheshimiwa
wakuu Masultani kiasili na wa muda wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Kivu wakiwa wa
Baraza la Bunge.
Cheo kamili na rasmi cha wanamemba wa Baraza
Kuu ni Waheshimiwa Wakuu X wa Y. Kwa mfano: Mwami Mopipi wa Shabunda. Ni kusema
X=Mwami Mopipi, Y=Wa Shabunda.
Watambo ambao ni Washauri wa kipekee (Privy
Counsellors) watapewa cheo chao kama WW. Washauri wa kipekee wote wanapewa
cheo chao “Waheshimiwa Wakuu”.
KIAPO CHA WABUNGE
“Mimi..., naapa kwa Mungu Mwenyezi kuwa
nitaiheshimu Katiba ya Jamhuri wa Muungano wa Kivu na kumuomba Mungu anisaidie
na kuniongoza kwenye Katiba hii kwa kuilinda. Nitajitoa kwa nguvu zangu zote
kutimiliza mapenzi ya watu walio na kiu cha uhuru, walio na kiu cha kujitawala
na kiu cha uhaki. Nitalinda Haki na Uhuru wa Raia wote. Nitafunika na kuhifadhi
umoja wa Udongo wa Kivu. Nitatumikia Maendeleo na Uheri wa watu wa Kivu, kupigania
na kuinua thamani ya mila zao tukufu za Taifa la Kivu, Mungu, uwe Shahidi
wangu”.
WIMBO WA TAIFA LA JAMHURI

WITO MKUU KWA KILA MWANAUME
NA MWANAMKE MTOTO WA KIVU KUJIUNGA NASI KATIKA KUPIGANA VITA
Kivu iliyodhulumiwa, Kivu iliyovunjwa,
Kivu iliyokuwa katika dhiki, lakini sasa Kivu ni huru. Ilijikomboa yenyewe,
ilikombolewa na Raia wake. Kwa msaada wa kila Mtoto wa Kivu, kwa njia ya Mkivu
yeyote mpigana vita. Kivu ya kweli, Kivu isyozimika.
Mimi Elie-Desire Atawale, nasema saa hii nikiwa hapa ndani ya inchi ya Kivu,
nawaalika ninyi wanaume na wanawake wote wa Kivu, ninyi mulio hapa kwenye
udongo wa asili wa Kivu, na ninyi mulio nje ya Kivu, njoni mujiunge nasi.
Haidhuru yanayoweza kutokea, mwali wa moto wa upinzani wa Kivu hautazimika.
Kwa niaba ya Kivu nayafanya matangazo rasmi haya:
Ni wajibu wa roho ya kitaifa, kwa kila Mtoto wa Kivu kuchukua silaha na kuendeleza
harakati za ukombozi wa Taifa letu.
Maana kushusha silaha chini au kutoroka kampi muhimu ya kijeshi, au kukubaliana
kuipana sehemu yoyote ya udongo wa Kivu, au kutoa kitu chochote hata kingekua
kidogo, na kukubali kiwe chini ya utawala wa Adui wetu RDC, ni usaliti na
dhambi kubwa zidi ya Taifa letu.
Ninawatangazia Watoto wote wa Kivu, njoni mujiunge nami, tuizunguke Serikali
yetu mpya ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Kivu, ambayo tu ndilo jukua la pekee linalounganisha
Taifa la Kivu, na tuendelee na harakati zetu za vita zidi ya Adui Mshambulizi
wetu RDC.
Ninyi wanajeshi wote wa Kivu, Simameni!
Uvamizi wa RDC juu ya Inchi yetu umewafanya Raia wetu kushushwa sana kwa kiwango
cha nusu-mutu na kutufanya kuwa chombo cha Utumwa.
Tangu leo watoto wa Kivu wamekataa kukubali uvamizi haramu wa majeshi na utumwa
wa RDC kwa sababu zifuatazo:
Heshima, Kusudi la umoja, na Faida za Taifa la Kivu.
Kusudi la umoja, kwa kuwa ni upumbafu kukubali kuwa nguvu zetu hazifai.
Kwa Faida za Taifa la Kivu, ilikuwa vema vita ifanyike na iwe tu hiyo vita
moja kama ilivyokusudiwa
Mwisho wa vita hii utaonyesha nguvu za Uhuru zimeshinda hizo nguvu za Utumwa.
Heshima, Kusudi la Umoja na faida za Taifa la Kivu vyaagiza ya kwamba ni lazima
kila Mtoto wa Kivu aendelee na vita kwa njia iliyo bora zaidi.
Ni lazima kukusanya zaidi nguvu ya watoto wa kivu iliyo kuu kupita kama iwezekanavyo.
Ninawaalika Watoto wa Kivu wote waliyo katika ukimbizi, na wale wanaopatikana
katika inchi za kigeni, walioko Ulaya na katika sehemu nyigine zote za dunia,
warudi Kivu na wajiunge nami.
Hakuna upendo mwingine mkuu kwa Mtoto wa Kivu kama upendo wa Kiraia, Upendo
wa Taifa la Kivu.
Ninawaaalika Wasomi wote wototo wa Kivu wajiunge nami, na iwe njia ya kutumia
maarifa yenu kwa manufaa na faida za Taifa, na wana wetu, siku zinazokuja
watatushukuru.
Njia yoyote ambayo yawezakuwa na uwezo wa kijeshi na utowaji wa silaha, lazima
itunzwe vema popte pale ilipo.
Ninawaalika Watoto wote wa Kivu wote walio na shauku ya kupata uhuru waisikilize
sauti yangu na wanifuate.
Ni jambo la ukweli lililo wazi kuwa sisi tunadhulumiwa na kuteswa na Majeshi
Adui zetu ya RDC. Lakini, je, hilo laweza kuwa neno la mwisho lililosemwa?
Je, tupoteze matumaini yote? Je, huko kuvamia udongo wetu kiharamu na RDC,
ni mwisho wa mambo ambayo hayawezi kupinduliwa?
Kwa maswali haya yote, jibu langu ni, HAPANA
Nikiwa na maarifa ya mambo haya, nawaambieni, Kivu itapata ushindi katika
vita vyake. Yale yaliyosababisha uvamizi wa inchi yetu ni yaleyale mambo ambayo,
sasa, lazima yatuongoze katika ushindi.
Watoto wa Kivu, jueni haya, Kivu haiendi peke yake, Kivu haitengwi na ulimwengu.
Tayari Kivu iko huru kwenye nyanja za mataifa mengine na hata haya mataifa
mengine yanatutambua na kutukubali, sababu sisi nasi tupo tayari sehemu ya
jamii kama mataifa mengine huru kwenye uso wa dunia.
Shirika la mataifa yote ulimwenguni na viungo vya maserikali ya kigeni wapo
tayari kwa kuisaidia Kivu ichukue Uhuru wake, wakitambua bidii na kujitolea
kwa raia wa Kivu anavyochukua silaha kwa kupigania Uhuru wake, Uhuru wa watu
wake, Uhuru wa ufanisi wa jamaa lake na wa wazazi wake.
Nyuma ya uwezo wenye nguvu wa upinzani wa Kivu, kuna Milki au utawala mkubwa,
na Kivu inaungana na Milki hii kwa ajili ya faida ya umoja.
Enyi Watoto wa Kivu, njoni mujiunge nami. Tutawaongoza katika njia itakayotuelekeza
kwenye Ukombozi.
Kivu iishi milele! Kivu iishi huru katika Heshima na Kujitegemea
KIVU
CITIZENSHIP OATH AND PLEDGE
The form of citizenship oath and pledge is
as follows for registration of or naturalisation as a Kivu citizen:
OATH
"I, [name], swear by Almighty God that,
on becoming a Kivu citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to
the United Republic of Kivu, and its legitimate Democratically and Constitutionally
elected Government according to law."
PLEDGE
"I will give my loyalty to the United
Republic of Kivu and respect its rights and freedoms. I will uphold its democratic
values. I will observe its laws faithfully and fulfil my duties and obligations
as a Kivu citizen."
Privy Council of the
United Repulbic of Kivu
The United Republic Kivu Most Honourable Privy
Council is a body of advisors to the United Republic of Kivu President. The
Council is a powerful largely ceremonial institution. Most of its power is
held by one of its committees, the Cabinet. The Council also performs judicial
functions, which are for the most part delegated to the United Republic of
Kivu Law Society the Judicial Committee.
The President of the United Republic of Kivu,
when acting on the Council's advice, is known as the President-in-Council.
The members of the Council are collectively known as Regency Councillors of
the Most Honourable Privy Council.
OAT
“You do swear by Almighty God to be a
true and faithful Servant unto The lawfully elected President of the Untied
Republic of Kivu as one of His Excelency’s Privy Council. You will not
know or understand of any manner of thing to be attempted, done or spoken
against the Nation of Kivu or the President’s Person, Honour, Dignity,
but you will lett and withstand the same to the uttermost of your power, and
either cause it to be revealed to His Execelency Himself, or to such of His
Privy Council as shall advertise His Excelency of the same. You will in all
things to be moved, treated and debated in Council, faithfully and truly declare
your Mind and Opinion, according to your Heart and Conscience; and will keep
secret all matters committed and revealed unto you, or that shall be treated
of secretly in Council. And if any of the said Treaties or Counsels shall
touch any of the Counsellors you will not reveal it unto him but will keep
the same until such time as, by the consent of His Excelency or of the Council,
Publication shall be made thereof. You will to your uttermost bear Faith and
Allegiance to the United Republic of Kivu; and will assist and defend all
Jurisdictions, Pre-eminences, and Authorities, granted to His Excelency and
annexed to the Government by Acts of Parliament, or otherwise, against all
Foreign Princes, Persons, Prelates, States, or Potentates. And generally in
all things you will do as a faithful and true Servant ought to do to His Excelency.
So help you God.”
Both "Privy Counsellor" and "Privy Councillor" may be
correctly used to refer to a member of the Council. The former, however, is
preferred by the Privy Council Office. A Privy Counsellor is said to be 'sworn
of' the Council when he/she first joins it.
Though the Privy Council as a whole is "The
Most Honourable", individual Privy Counsellors are entitled to the style
"The Right Honourable". For commoners, on the other hand, "The
Right Honourable" is sufficient identification of status as a Privy Counsellor.
Privy Counsellors are entitled to positions
in the order of precedence. At the beginning of each new Parliament, members
of the House of Commons who are Privy Counsellors may take the oath of allegiance
before all other members except the Speaker and the Father of the House (the
most senior member of the House).
The
Programme of Government
The United Republic of Kivu
subscribes to the core values of Constitutional Democracy
Constitutional Democracy
The Ideological Foundations of State Administration
are those of a Constitutional Democracy both in values, principles and policies:
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
- Life
- Liberty
- Freedom of press
- Freedom of speech
JUSTICE
- Due process
- Protection against unreasonable search and seizure
- Rule of law
- Right to a speedy public trial by a jury
THE COMMON GOOD
- Provide for safety and security
- Promote the general welfare
CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT
- Majorities have right to make political decisions
- Respect for differences
- Equal protection of the law
- Social equality
- Right to vote and seek office
- Equal employment opportunity
- Equal housing opportunity
Public Safety and Security
Without Safety and Security, good governance
and the provision of all political goods, is impossible.
Security refers to a nation-state’s monopoly
of violence. If there are insurgencies within the state, violence against
the government in power, or rebellions against authority, the nation-state
is neither safe nor secure for its people. Likewise, if the state is invaded
from outside or has porous borders, the government of the nation-state cannot
provide, as nation-states are mandated to do, a safe and secure environment
for the pursuit of individual or group free endeavours within the nation-state.
Nor are the citizens of a modern nation-state
safe or secure if the government in power cannot guarantee their personal
security. Citizens demand to be free of mugging, car jacking, violent crime,
and homicide. Thus, personal security is the second major component of the
political good of safety and security. Countries with lower crime rates are
supplying greater quantities and qualities of the safety segment of the political
good of safety and security than those states where crime is rampant.
The control of the Level of violent crime in
the streets.
Difficulty on the ease of access to small arms and light weapons and its tight
regulation.
National Defence and Security
To establish a disciplined and well-trained
and organized National Defence Forces.
To establish a well trained motivated Police Force to assure Public Safety
of all citizens.
Providing solutions to prevent armed conflicts.
Providing foreign Refugees and asylum seekers
originating from foreign countries a safe heaven, but only when in the best
interest of the Nation, and only when genuine political refugees.
Rule of Law, Transparency and Corruption
Governments and governance cannot exist or
function without the political good called Rule of Law. Such a designation
refers to Common Law or to a codified, transparent method of adjudicating
personal disputes of all kinds, formal and informal contractual obligations,
and disputes between citizens and the nation-state, without resort to violence.
Thus, nation-states with enforceable codes of law, nation-states that have
adhered to international conventions and legal obligations, and nation-states
with judicial mechanisms free of state control have stronger rule of law regimes
and supply larger amounts of the political good of Rule of Law.
Ratification of all Critical Legal Norms
Judicial Independence and Efficiency of the Courts of Law
Eradication of Corruption
As the term “rule of law” highlights
“the idea of laws enacted - laid down, legislated - by an authoritative
body.” The protection of the citizen’s basic human rights and
upheld the basic principles of democracy.
To promote the ratification of all Critical
Legal Norms.
To promote the ratification of core international
human rights conventions.
To assist in the implement of economic and
political sanctions in those countries where there are known human rights
violations.
To allow the draft of Laws on contracts and
property rights and other important areas for which clear legal norms are
key to the development of the economy.
To assure the Existence of an Independent and
Efficient Judicial System.
To assure the Existence of the Judicial independence,
based on the rule of law.
To assure the independence and Efficiency of
the courts in all matters pertaining to legal justice.
To assure the Efficiency of national institutions
regarding contract enforcement, Doing Business measures the efficiency (in
days) of “contract enforcement following the evolution of a sale of
goods dispute and tracking the time involved from the moment the plaintiff
files the lawsuit until actual payment.”
Corruption
To eradicate corruption in the Government and
Public sector.
Citizens Participation and Human Rights
To promote the political good of political
freedom has an essential tool to good governance. It includes Participation—the
ability to contest elections freely; Respect for Basic Human Rights—all
of the essential liberties and rights; and the Absence of Gender Discrimination.
To prevent discrimination, such as discrimination
against ethnic groups and religious minorities (including ethnic) conflict.
Without these components of political freedom, many other political goods
that collectively compose good governance are difficult to exercise.
The Free and spontaneous Participation of each
Citizens in the public and political life of the Nation.
To allow for Competitive Executive Elections,
based on whether independent observer missions judge national elections to
be “free and fair.”
Participation of main opposition candidates
in Executive Elections.
Competitive Legislative Elections, based on
whether official independent observer missions judge national elections to
be “free and fair.”
Participation of main opposition candidates
in legislative elections.
Respect for Civil and Political Rights of each
State Citizens.
Respect for physical rights (absence of extra
judicial killing, disappearances, torture, and political imprisonment).
Respect for civil rights (freedom of movement,
political participation, worker's rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of
religion).
To assure Press freedom at the most basic level.
To assure Absence of Gender Discrimination.
To advance Women’s Economic Rights.
To promote Women’s Political Rights.
To progress Women’s Social Rights.
Sustainable Economic Opportunity
To create and maintain Sustainable Economic
Opportunities is an essential political good. Well-governed nation-states
enable their citizens to pursue personal entrepreneurial goals and potentially
prosper. They do so by providing regulatory frameworks conducive to such prosperity
and by creating stable and forward-looking macroeconomic and fiscal policy
environments that facilitate and encourage national and personal wealth creation.
Arteries of commerce—a robust physical communications and transportation
infrastructure—are also critical to the achievement of these national
and personal objectives. Significant, too, is the extent to which African
countries are safeguarding their environments. Doing so assists in sustaining
economic opportunity. In order to measure the extent to which nation-states
are providing this essential political good and its components.
To incentive Wealth Creation.
To monitor and maintain in a prosper level
the GDP per capita.
To allow for Local and National Economic growth.
To allow and maintain Macroeconomic Stability
and Financial Integrity.
To implement the necessary financial mechanisms
of good economical governance and responsible control of the annual inflation
rates.
To control and account for Government budget
deficits and surpluses as a percentage of GDP.
To establish the Reliability of financial institutions
and monitor the overall local and national business environment.
Taxes
Lower taxes benefit all citizens, creating
jobs and allowing citizens to make more decisions for themselves about their
lives.
Lower taxes allow more spending, saving, and
investing which helps the economy - that means all citizens.
The economy and independence as a nation is
increasingly in the hands of foreign governments such as the Communist and
totalitarian regime of the Peoples Republic of China, this musty be brought
to a full stop.
Corporate ethics
The bottom line for corporations is making
a profit. Self-interest is a reliable motivator, and when it can be channelled
in positive ways, society benefits. This positive channelling will occur only
if corporate behaviour is constrained by ethical principles.
In the economic realm, as in all areas of life,
self-interest must be balanced with responsibility for others. Experience
shows that many businesses will operate in a responsible manner only if they
are subjected to clear regulations and careful scrutiny.
Many business people are very conscientious,
and attempt to function in socially responsible ways. Sometimes they are successful.
However, in the absence of appropriate regulations, businesses that do attempt
to operate in a responsible manner sometimes find they simply cannot compete
with their less scrupulous competitors.
For businesses to be able to function in responsible
ways requires attention to the “rules of the game” within which
competition must take place.
Arteries of Commerce
The density of a nation’s road network
(both paved and unpaved) per square kilometre of national land.
The supply, availability, reliability and access
of electricity to the population.
The development of each African nation infrastructures
of Land Line and Mobile (cellular) telephone network. Promoting and allowing
free access to the Internet and promote the access to Computers.
Environmental Sensitivity
Environmental health, air quality, water resources,
productive natural resources, biodiversity and habitat, and sustainable energy.
Reduction of environmental stresses on human health and promotion of ecosystem
vitality and natural resource management.
Human Development
Governments are charged by their constituents
with supplying the political good of effective human development. Everywhere,
especially in Africa, citizens expect their governments to provide opportunities
for educational advancement, health care and medical and sanitary services,
and poverty mitigation and alleviation.
The Federation of African Free States is determined to assist and help its
affiliated Sovereign Nation States to eradicate National Poverty; the percent
of all nationals live on less than US$1 day (the globally recognized poverty
figure).
To implement the mechanisms that permits and allows a fair an equal national
distribution of income.

Publicly funded health care financed entirely
or in majority part by citizens' tax payments.

socially recognized conditions, including poverty, old age, disability, unemployment
and others.

or services in recognition of contributions to an insurance scheme. These
services will include provision for retirement pensions, disability insurance,
survivor benefits and unemployment insurance.
2. Income maintenance; distribution of cash in the event of interruption of
employment, including retirement, disability and unemployment.
3. Basic General Security, African citizens access to basic necessities; such
as food, clothing, shelter, education and medical care.
African Independence and Sovereignty
So called free trade deals and world governmental
organizations are a threat to independence as nations. They transfer power
from our African governments to unelected foreign elites, such as the Communist
Peoples Republic of China.
Withdrawal from all and any organizations and
trade deals that infringe upon the freedom and independence of the African
States.
