"content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, you remember that I requested that we recommit the amendment by hon. Dr. Nuh. My issue here which has not come out very clearly from them is that this amendment is only cushioning Members of Parliament and councillors who are in office at the expense of the general public. What we are saying is that if the members of the general do not have post-secondary education, then they are not qualified, but a Member of Parliament who is not a post-secondary will qualify. If we are going to recommit the amendment by hon. Dr. Nuh, it has to come afresh here so that we delete it and we allow everybody, that is, Members of Parliament and outsiders – not a select few. That business of a select few is actually unconstitutional. Assuming hon. Kimunya has not gone to school and he is a Member of Parliament, why should he have an unfair advantage over others out there?"
