    "content": "qualifications. The reason we are placed at position 46 as Members of Parliament is because they say that this House is very low in academic standards. But, this is the only arm of Government where you find somebody of Form Four level or Class Eight level and PhDs sitting in the same place discussing matters of national importance. When you go to the Judiciary, the judges are all of the same level and in the Executive, directors and heads of department are at the same academic level. So, it was unfair to this House when she said that she could not place a Member of Parliament at the top because of academic qualifications. Those who will take over from this commissioner should realise that this is a House of leadership. When Kenyans elect leaders, they consider other factors other than academics. On that basis, there is the average. So, our rating is completely unfair. How could she place Members of Parliament at position 46 when they are the appointing authority who must approve her to go to China? She thought we are not important when it comes to placement of positions."
