With the promulgation of the new Constitution, Kenyan politicians seems to find themselves between a hard place and a rock. The new law now demands that members of the respective houses should have the minimum of a collage degree. Seeing as it is, not many of the current members fit in this bill. It is claimed that a good number of them have gone out of their way to buy degrees in order for them to comply with the law and thus secure at best a nomination to contest in the coming elections.
The Elections Act 2011,
requires that one is a holder of a degree to qualify to contest for either governor
and senate seat. Section 22 of the Act states, "a person may be nominated
as a candidate for election as president, deputy president, county governor or
deputy county governor, only if the person is a holder of degree from a
university recognized in Kenya.
It seems this lot will do just anything so as to remain in the lame light.
