"content": "very clear that the requirement for degrees for Members of Parliament and county assembly members is unconstitutional. Nobody appealed against that decision. As much as we sit here and make laws, it is important for us to know and appreciate that this is a House of representatives. As we represent people, we need to know that degrees alone cannot be a measure for representing people. If having degrees would mean that work would be done better in this country, then all our governors would have been perfect, yet even with the executives who are supposed to have degrees as the minimum level of education leave a lot to be desired. They do not seem to be doing what they ought to. If there is an example of a place where many people who hold degrees sit together to make decisions, it is at the county government level. We do not seem to see anything wrong that those fellows who happen to be degree holders are doing and the mess they make."
