"content": "You are aware that I am a very proud graduate. I happen to be an Irvine graduate from Columbia University USA, courtesy of the efforts of other people. Many of us such as Hon. Joyce Emanikor, Hon. Tecla Tum, and Hon. Sen. Mwaura all went to the US to pursue education. We went extra mile to just get education. Therefore, if this House agrees to such a Petition, it will make a mockery of education. In the month of July, the G7 will be in London talking about issues to do with climate change and education. We have a lot of money that we are financing education. The Free Primary Education Summit is coming up in London where the G7 countries are putting together money to support education. What are we even talking about? We must have educated Members in this House. Anybody who is privileged to sit in this dignified House must have a basic degree. So, I even do not know why we are discussing this. For the first time, I support the Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for putting the strict measure. People must go to school. Leaders and MPs must go to school. Why are we educating our children if we are advocating for people to come to Parliament without a degree? Hon. Speaker, I do not support that Petition. I thank you."
