    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to persuade Members to see the sense in Dr. Nuh’s amendment. “Holds a post-secondary school qualification recognized in Kenya” means that you have a secondary school certificate and then post-secondary school certificate recognized in Kenya. If you have a secondary school certificate, it is not “post”. If that is all you have, then you are locked out! The danger is that this kind of clause will hurt, particularly so many Kenyan women in marginal areas. We have seen it here. There is no guarantee that the more educated you are, the better politician or leader you are! People who are just functionally literate have been very good in this Parliament! We know so! I want to urge the House that we agree to Dr. Nuh’s amendment because it is making it easier and better. Let me finally give an example. A person who left school at Form Four and went to the army and rose to become a general, he still does not have a post-secondary qualification to bring a certificate here. Yet, we have generals here who are doing very well. I want to urge the House to agree to this amendment."
