    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this issue. Article 95 of the Constitution provides the role of this House. I am a graduate from Jomo Kenyatta University, Mr. Duale. It is impossible to have illiterate legislators here. You cannot legislate when you are illiterate. At the same time, we have seen cases where you have a law professor as a governor being overseen by illiterate MCAs. We discussed this issue in the 11th Parliament, as Hon. Duale has said. This time, we are not going to postpone the requirement to 2027.We need to do this thing once and for all. We have to make sure that we have Members who are able to interrogate members of the Executive and fully interrogate the Bills that will be coming to this House. They must be legislators of substance."
