Re: Why should a Federal Minister be less qualified than a Federal Secretary?
Isn’t that a bit like saying … Is it fair to deny 95% the right to enter medical school, civil service, engineering university etc.? **Yes it is **because they were academically not good enough to become doctors or engineers or whatever and same rule should apply to anyone wishing to enter politics or aspiring to hold public office.
Ofcourse no one is saying that illiterate people should not allowed to vote but we as a nation cannot have illiterates and incompetents becoming the future law-makers of our country on the basis of votes alone? They must meet certain standards before they are even eligible to stand as a candidate in an election.
