    "content": "We have provided that a governor and the deputy governor to have a degree as a mandatory requirement, how then would you allow them to go and superintend over a county that have people with academic challenge? In the past, when we were supporting this, we had in mind counties like Turkana, but now Turkana is going to be a county driven by oil. How then do you expect to drive an oil economy when they are not literate? In conclusion, I am a very happy man because earlier on when we were making this decision, I was worried that we were legislating for ourselves. At that time, we had put a very low bar for Senator and Member of Parliament, but now Mr. Kimunya has raised the bar. Now a Senator and a Member of Parliament must have a degree. So, we are now asking people to get post-secondary education. I support the amendment."
