Honorable Majanko Samusa, nominated member of the National Assembly member has explained that his personal attribute, honest, forced him to turn down a ministerial offer and choose to be member of the parliamentarians.
The Honorable divulged this as he recently delivered his speech during the Fifth Legislative Year.
In his final parliamentary address, he told the house that he was extremely delighted to witness the end of the Fifth Legislative Year saying he is a proud man who has been fighting for his country since First Republic down to the Third Republic.
“Madam Speaker, in my political career, I feel so delighted today witnessing end of this five years. I was offered a State Minister (position), but with my honesty I cannot take it and I accepted the position of a parliamentarian. I said that’s my place,” he told the National Assembly.
“I am the Chief Rep who can compare and contrast. There is nobody who can challenge me on that because I have seen it and I am a fighter until I went to the parliament under the then incumbent who ruled for 32 years as an independent without a degree. As people like to boast that ‘you must have a degree, this man is not educated, this man is not a degree holder,” he stated.
According to him, degree doesn’t make one a good leader, but one’s capability makes you good leader for people.
“No, it is the people who are to determine who will represent them. That is why all the time we are crying for language you are a PhD holder and you cannot even handle a chicken,” he said, adding he has seen what happened in the First, Second and Third Republic.
