    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, give me a little more time. I am just finishing. This is the man who emancipated the blacks and he called for a civil war. The north and the south fought and many Americans actually died in that war than in any other war including the Second World War when the black man was being emancipated. So, he was a leader. He never went to any school. There is a Maasai called ole Gilesho whom all of you do not know because the colonialists did not put him in the books. He is the man who started resisting the white people. He is also the man who really stopped the movement of the Maasai. Anyway, what I am trying to say is that leadership is very important and I am glad it is like this. Lastly, the reason why we are all in the Tenth Parliament, the qualification that has been wanted since we started an independent Parliament was only the proficiency of English and Kiswahili. They also tested you whether you can write an English sentence or probably a Kiswahili sentence. If you did that and spoke your English very well, then they said huyu anafaa kuwa Mjumbe and so, you went. They did not really ask you for certificates, degrees or anything. I am very grateful that, at least, now the wananchi will go and decide whether you are a leader or you are just an academician who wants to go and earn money in Parliament. I think we should follow the qualifications, the language and probably a little interview to find out whether the guy can definitely speak the languages of English and Kiswahili which is in our Constitution. Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady."
