Degree not surety of great leadership

In an article published in The Standard on September 8, 2015, Kennedy Buhere, the Ministry of Education’s public relations officer, appeared to endorse IEBC’s move to impose academic qualifications on aspirants for political offices.

Mr Buhere argued that while Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln were not immersed in academics, their speeches and writings project them as men who had great knowledge and intellect that, in modern days, can only be found at universities.
