    "content": "I can see that Members want to contribute to this important Bill, but I want to pinpoint that the qualifications of the members of the County Education Board should be reviewed. When we were vetting the Board of Governors for a secondary school, we found that the minimum requirement for the chairman was a degree and a diploma for primary school. In terms of the minimum requirement of the County Education Board members, the Committee has suggested it should be a secondary school certificate. There should be some amendments to this. You cannot say that a chairman should be a graduate or a diploma holder and then you go ahead and say that members of the County Education Board should have inferior qualifications. That is not possible. In both cases, we can put the minimum requirement as post-primary and post-secondary education. However, members of the County Education Board should have a minimum of a diploma. These are the overseers of education at the county level. They should be at a higher level of education than the people they oversee. The number of these members is bloated. We are supposed to have 17 members in the CEB. The Government is grappling with public spending and wastage of resources. So, a board of 13 members can provide leadership at the county level."
