Hon. Chairman, today I have seen the Leader of the Majority Party sit in this House in the Committee of the whole House from the beginning to the end. He is doing a good job and he is setting a good example to his leadership. I wish my leaders were here to know how cold we feel being in this side of the divide and fighting so that the law is clear.

of degree in law for all the Director General’s including the boards that we were fighting about here. We said a degree in various fields. This will be the only person who will be the most educated in the establishment, unless we have a very good reason why this fellow must just have Master’s degree. I do not know the number of people in Turkana who have Masters’ degree in the relevant fields here. I just want to invite the Leader of the Majority Party. This is the last item we are doing.

You are fixed about this further amendment, he can further amend his own further amendment and say that he wants to drop the word “Master’s” and have “holds a degree” in all these things.

Of course if you have a Masters’ degree, you have an added qualification. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, even if we, Members, know that it is tied to New Clause 11A, that is a point of debate. It is Hon. Musimba who is the owner of that amendment. Members take a lot of time to research and propose amendments. If we do not have time, let us just report back to the House and resume House proceedings. This Member has had his time. Let us go back to him. If he wants to withdraw the amendment, let it be his own decision to do so. Our job is to make a decision. We cannot ...
