    "content": "made arrangements should end. We heard this during Prof. George Magoha’s tenure, a very hard-faced man. We have heard all these things, but even then, we had rigging of exams. So, we need to ensure that the human intervention in the process through which exams could be rigged is removed. Two is on the last thing he mentioned on disbursement of money. We are all aware that the Ministry does not disburse 100 per cent of the money. The Ministry disburses 55 per cent of the money. The highest they can disburse is 70 per cent. Schools do not get 100 per cent of the money. This is something that the Chairman should deal with. We should disburse enough money on time. Three is on books. Books are important, but the Ministry just says that books have been given without any further information. In situations where books have been issued, they get to schools late. Some schools get books in second term for children sitting exams in third term. Some schools get books in August for exams being done in October/November. The issue is not whether these things are being done; the issue is the timeliness of execution. The issue is ensuring that we do not lose any part of the chain. Every year, we get these assurances, but do not mitigate the rigging of exams. The last two years have been terrible. We hope the Chairman, who has read the Statement, will ensure that the Ministry, the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary concerned, follow through and make sure that this year we do not have rigging in exams. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you."
