    "content": "Before I go to hon. (Maj-Gen.) Nkaissery’s issues, I just want to confirm to the House that qualifications of a chief and sub-chief is Form Four certificate of C- (Minus) especially in the so-called high potential areas, where people are highly educated. There is always a provision to exempt people from pastoralist areas that were ignored by so many regimes to the extent that there are very few people who have that kind of qualification. In fact, very few educated people in those areas prefer to be chiefs. Most of them want to go to other areas. So, it can actually be lowered to Standard Eight and Standard Seven in special circumstances. Hon. Speaker, I stand guided that hon. Nkaissery is not an expert in body language. This is because he is a psychologist and he seems to know how I normally behave. However, to the best of my knowledge I am the same Kamama, the Chairman. Hon. Speaker, I stand guided on the issue of whether hon. Nkaissery should bring this Report to the Committee; I have no problem. However, we sat with the Cabinet Secretary and looked at this Report. This is the statement from the Cabinet Secretary. On the issue of employment, actually the Principal Secretary (PS) is almost the final person on this issue. The Cabinet Secretary plays a very minimal role on this. Unless you want to introduce peripheral issue so that we are confused as a Committee, that is the position of this Committee in as far as this matter is concerned."
