    "content": "This is an interesting and serious matter. The only problem I have with the Statement is the use of the word ‘disappearance.’ This is because it may create the impression that something such as some kind of rapture is happening to our children. They have just failed present themselves to do the exams. What are the circumstances? So, those are the things we need to think about. The chiefs, teachers and parents in those areas should be able to explain what is happening to our children. Early pregnancies do not stop people from sitting for exams. What are these issues that are stopping children from doing exams? It is important for me to use this opportunity to wish all our KCSE candidates success, especially those in West Pokot County whom I represent here and those across the country. They need to understand that exams are not a matter of life and death. For example, there are people who are trying to help children cheat in exams. We should condemn these people who want to make our children thieves so early. They are the ones giving the impression that if you do not pass exams the way you are meant to, then you can have a shortcut to passing exams. Such people need to be condemned in the strongest terms possible. Let our children work hard. Let them understand the subject matter as they go to exams. Let them have the confidence because they have been prepared to do exams and that they can pass."
