    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, we have those who have lost seats as a result of trying to cheat through and assume positions of education that do not belong to them. Mr. Temporary Speaker, this is a necessary part of our progress. We should address the issue of who will govern us. If small companies are saying they want a person qualified with a degree; if the MPs are vetting individuals who they have insisted on having degrees, who are we then not to vet ourselves and say we should also be qualified like other Kenyans? They hold those positions because they are qualified. Mr. Temporary Speaker, there is no point in us creating institutions which will be manned by individuals who do not have the capacity to do so. Definitely, there will be a professor of political science. There is going to be a person who has got a doctorate or a Masters degree in whatever they will teach as far as governance is concerned. We must also define the student who will join that institution. For example, such a student must have some minimum qualifications. This is a governance institution. Therefore, a governance institution must have people who are respected by the society from which they come. They must also meet the challenges of nationhood and nation building. Mr. Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
