Ignore the naysayers and enforce the degree requirement for leaders in Kenya

In the book of Acts of Apostles 7:20 records that “Moses was educated with all the education of the Egyptians”, and it is this same Moses that God used to emancipate the Israelites from captivity in Egypt, and it’s through him that laws and instructions were given to the people (the first five books in the Bible were written by Moses and have been extensively used in legal training and development all over the world). This stems from the fact that he was chosen by God for this divine task and God, who is not an author of confusion, made his pass through the palace of Pharaoh from where he obtained the best education, because Egyptians had invented education by 3000 BC. The Hammurabi, the law giver, who lived around 17^th century BC in Babylon was also able to develop a good set of laws because Babylon, like Egypt, had developed the art of writing and reading by that time. We have had many novel discoveries and knowledge systems in Africa that have been forgotten, or whose accuracy is doubted, because of lack of writing and reading skills. The assertion that majority of Kenyans are illiterate is in the best of knowledge is a pessimistic outlook of things. We have 1 million Kenyans with degree, 4 million have diplomas and 6 million have certificates, which makes up 22% of the entire population (50 million people). With 22% of the people possessing a certificate to degree, it means that they fall within the 5% of any population that statics show is the percentage that makes things happen, 15% of people watch things happen (now degree holders and diploma holders are 5 million, which makes 10%, which falls within the range of 5 -15% of the people that make and watch things happen. It would be better if the opponents of the degree rule are rooting for diplomas than just dismissing the quest for higher threshold for leadership. Good leaders must move with times and observe that the times when illiterate leaders ruled countries are past the sell by dates. Leaders must make sacrifices in order to lead, including adequate academic preparation so that they can scrutinize policies and programmes and also make adjustments in order to positively lead to advancement.
