    "content": "we vote for to become members of county assemblies. We do not need these people who are bag carriers and flower girls. We need serious people to be in those county assemblies. Even the nominated ones, I have said about them before. There was a time I said it and I almost faced riot and demonstration from incited ladies, but I had said those who had not gone to school. We need basic education for these people whether you are nominated or elected. I know in the National Assembly we do not have that minimum academic qualification. It should be there. Those of us who have not got basic degree, please you have a few more months. Get it so that in 2022, we have people who can do oversight. You cannot have a Standard 8 dropout, because you are too popular in your place, overseeing a professor. That is why a professor will come to you and look at you and feel that you are wasting his time and address you with a condescending attitude. This is because you have no capacity to oversee him. So, I just want to plead with those of us who still want to represent people that if you do not have that minimum qualification, I do not think this House will be willing to extend it further. We extended it to 2022 and I think we should be reluctant this time to extend that minimum academic qualification requirement."
