Here’s what some of them had to say.

He is quite stupid to say so. If one do not work in a field of a degree he has, after three years already it is hard to be employed for that again.

I heard once they work two terms and step down, they will get 2/3 of last monthly paid for life and best medical benefits till they die.

Will MBAs, PHDs also come with expiry date?
Is a judge who went to Law school 20 years ago, accumulated 20 years of real life legal experience, not qualified to be a judge because his law degree expired?

With the vehement condemnation of his silly suggestion, it is best for him to immediately retract and apologise sincerely for what he said.
Failing to do so may affect the image of the incumbent authorities.
