    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I apologise for coming in at the tail end. Thank you for the opportunity. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have one question for the able Cabinet Secretary. As a policy matter, could he, together with the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations, think of using other considerations other than academic qualifications in the recruitment of military personnel? There are Kenyans who are enabled differently. They can defend this country if given opportunity. I am referring to Kenyans who have not had the opportunity to go to school properly. It is not because they did not want to go to school but for lack of opportunity. I have in mind especially Kenyans from among the pastoral communities, where the Cabinet Secretary comes from. History has proven that even people who have not gone to school can serve in the armed forces effectively. Even during the colonial times, there were special regiments of unschooled officers."
