    "content": " Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I think honourable Member’s fears are unfounded because when you look at Regulation 46, you will see that it is a general provision. At the end of the day, IEBC is supposed to ascertain educational qualifications and whatever they are, as provided by the law. That is what IEBC would go for. I had indicated to the hon. Member and he had already asked for a Ministerial Statement in view of the ruling of the High Court, which we are dealing, whether to appeal or not. We are also in the process of preparing the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill to clean up various Acts. This is one of the areas we will be considering when we bring the Bill. However, this particular provision does not set educational standards such as to violate that ruling. So, it does not really step on its toes. I just wanted to give that assurance that when we do the amendments, the educational standards will be set as per that ruling."
