kutokana na matatizo ya kupata pasi ya kusafiria kwenda nje ya nchi pamoja na mfumo mzima wa kupta pasi hizi. hivyo basi kwa katiba hiyo lazima iweke wazi ya kwamba pasi ya kusafiria ni haki ya kila mzalendo na itolewe haraka kama iwapasovyo wanafunzi kuwa na vitambulisho cha shule au wafanyakazi kuwa na vya makazini kwao.(passport ni haki ya kila mzalendo jamani, nchi nyingine mbona hawana mambo ya namna hiyo. watanzania tubadilike tuige yaliyo mazuri sasa)
katiba mpya iweke bayana pasi za kusafiria ni haki ya mzalendo na zitolewe kama vitambulisho vya taifa.
