    "content": "I have seen the Ministry officials led by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) responding on the issues of exams cheating and irregularities. We also need the Ministry to update the country on the state of many candidates who continue to miss this important exam in their lives. KCSE is one of the critical yardsticks when it comes to progressing to tertiary learning. It is unfortunate that there are many students who are not doing their exams in Embu, Mandera, Kapedo, Kerio Valley and across the country because of insecurity issues. Therefore, the Ministry of Education should first update the nation on all the learners that have missed their exams because of insecurity and other issues. As they update us on the KCSE, the CS and his Principal Secretary (PS) for education should tell us the number of students registered for national exams and how many are missing. Is it because of insecurity, early pregnancies or other family matters so that we become aware? Madam Temporary Speaker, we know the importance of KCSE for transitioning to higher learning. Is there should a possibility of the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) creating and give them another opportunity to do those exams? Can those students be traced? Can the chiefs and national Government officers be used to trace them and allow them to sit them for exams again, especially in areas like Kerio Valley, Mandera and Embu that are suffering insecurity?"
