"content": " I can hear one Hon. Member asking how that can help. You must also be exposed. You cannot be one person who moves from Migori to Nairobi for 20 years and think that you know too much. You must have some knowledge of what happens elsewhere. Someone asked, although informally about his age. He was born in 1952. My calculation brings it to about 67 years. Sometimes, just like wine, people mature with age in terms of leadership. By the way some Ministries like that of education where you are going to deal with children, teachers and different categories of people⦠The beauty of being elderly is that you have experience of both; being youthful and being elderly. The youth only know how to deal with the youth because they have never been elderly. In that case, you need someone really mature. There is someone who is saying that in future, we may need to ensure that the President of this country should not be below 60 years. He should be 60 years and above. You know, there are positions you can play around with. There are positions where we can have the youth, and there are positions where we need maturity to be able to handle the pressures of life. If you are put in some positions where you are still thinking of making more children, it will be a big challenge."
