"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I commend Hon. Kamket for bringing up this matter. This is something affecting many parts of the country, especially pastoralists. Getting somebody with a C- to be an assistant chief where I come from, is a big problem. Worse still, the Chairman has even communicated that it is a C Plain for a chief. The spirit of promoting an assistant chief, probably recruited with a C- and on the exit of a chief, becomes very difficult. Even where he says academic waivers are issued in some special circumstances, sometimes it is not forthcoming. We have had challenges. That policy needs to be reviewed. For example, no academic qualification is required for somebody to contest to be even a Member of this House."
