"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding the inability of universities in Kenya to issue certified duplicate degree certificates to graduates who lose their original certificates. Many Kenyans lose their degree certificates due to circumstances beyond their control, including theft, accidental destruction through fire and flooding or general misplacement. Despite the critical role of these certificates in the professional and academic lives of graduates, the current process for addressing the loss is burdensome and ultimately unsatisfactory. Most universities do not issue a certified duplicate or replacement copy of the original degree certificate. Instead, they issue a letter of certification or confirmation of award, which only serves as an alternative reference to the lost certificate. A degree certificate is routinely required for employment, professional licensing and further academic studies. While local institutions and employers may accept the letters of confirmation, these documents are often insufficient for international applications, where certified copies or re-issued certificates are a mandatory requirement. The lack of a standardised degree certificate replacement policy affects not only the employability of graduates but limits also access to academic and professional opportunities. Further, the inability to obtain a certified duplicate poses a security risk, as where The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

It is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education on the following: 1. Rationale behind the current prohibition by the Ministry of Education on the issuance of certified duplicate certificates by universities to graduates who have lost their original degree certificates. 2. The measures the Ministry is taking to develop a national policy framework to govern the replacement of degree certificates. 3. The plans in place to standardise the replacement process across all universities in Kenya, in line with international best practices and expected timelines for implementation. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
