    "content": "Brothers and sisters who have the privilege to be here, let us not block our colleagues from having opportunities to continue to serve. I do not want to mention people’s names because I do not know many in this Chamber who do not have a university degree. However, I know a number in the National Assembly who are qualified leaders and have served their constituents for more than 15 years. Are you suddenly telling me that such people are not qualified? Because of this Bill, they will not participate in the upcoming elections of 9th August, 2022, since they suddenly become ‘lesser’ Members of Parliament? If they qualify, then why can other like them not qualify? If we say we are going to protect those who have already served Members of Parliament, we must protect those who have similar potential to become Members of Parliament. This is where is beg our colleagues to support."
