MP’s move on degrees welcome

Members of the Tenth Parliament should not be branded selfish and mutilators of the new Constitution because of the changes they made recently requiring those aspiring to be MPs and councillors to have a minimum of a university degree. We passed the new constitution, albeit with 20 per cent flaws, which we agreed to iron out during the implementation. And that is exactly what the MPs have done.

I wish to support the views expressed by former Attorney General, Charles Njonjo, that our country risks losing face before the international community if we continue electing people with minimal education to Parliament. In fact, we appear to be a country where the law of the jungle reigns supreme.
