    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, as we go back, I really want to persuade Hon. Wamuchomba or Hon. Chairman with the reasoning that we need to be very careful not to go against the spirit of the Constitution on discrimination. In this very House, a degree requirement was passed, but it has always been deferred on implementation through very many other channels like courts and many other aspects. People say a degree is not a measure of intelligence. That is why we have people here who did not even go beyond Standard VIII, but they are doing very well. Speaking good English is not a measure of intelligence. The authenticity of one’s experience and what they can do in life, sometimes, comes out of practice and what they do often. If a Standard III person, like my grandfather, has been able to maintain his own farm and coffee for 20, 30 to 40 years successfully, that experience is enough. He does not need a Form IV paper that was teaching about anthropology and parts of a bunsen burner. Let us be practical."
