    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I know you have ruled that we need to move on, but you know this matter may seem to be simple. You know it is the chiefs who provide much of this country with security. The Statement that the Committee Chair has made may be misconstrued by the DCs and the DOs around the country that what he has said are the qualifications of the chiefs. I thought that as Parliament under the new dispensation the Committee would have engaged the Cabinet Secretary and brought a policy paper. As you know, and he has also already admitted, there are many parts of this country where the way we choose our leaders, education is not part of the requirement. In fact, it could be that chief that most people respect. Even some MPs are chosen by those chiefs. It is a fact in some parts of the country and that is the truth. So, it is good to engage the Cabinet Secretary so that we guide this nation. This is because a pronouncement like the one he has just made does not need to go on our record because it may be misconstrued to mean that, that is the norm and the DCs will just victimize people even in the village from where your come. So, I plead with you to guide them so that they order the Cabinet Secretary to give us a paper to discuss so The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
