    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also wish to add my voice to this concern. First, I want to congratulate the Committee Chairperson for that elaborate input on preparedness. I found it difficult to see the significant effort that has been put into ensuring no cheating like in previous years. The only effort I have seen is an increase in centres. Secondly, with a capitation of 26 per cent, anybody who has been in schools of late knows that headteachers and administrators are extensively strained with basic logistics. If we expect the examinations to be done the way we want, it is important to understand that the learning environment is fragile. The desks are broken down, and the school environment is quite wanting. Thirdly, Hon. Baya has asked about centres and collection of examinations twice a day for morning and afternoon sessions. If I heard him correctly, the concern was this: Does collecting examinations twice decrease the chances of cheating? I do not understand how this reduces the chances of cheating. This is manipulative and allows people to collude, mainly when examiners have not been paid for years. What will stop them from taking a few bribes to cushion their pockets instead of waiting? We need to add resources to have a water-tight scenario in those examinations. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
