    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The KNEC erroneously awarded some candidates wrong marks and assigned grades and subjects candidates did not sit at all for. Noticeable errors that emerged from various students were the awarding of marks for the Kenyan Sign Language (KSL) subject yet students had not sat for the said subject; and grades in Science and Social Studies and Religious Education were truncated incorrectly and were missing the plus (+) and minus (-) signs. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Form One placement exercise began on 27th November, 2023. It is set to be completed within two weeks in order to give parents and guardians adequate time to prepare their children to join Secondary Schools in 2024. However, the Ministry of Education has not stated the measures put in place to ensure that all students aggrieved with the results irregularities, are not disadvantaged in the selection process. An example is drawn from the Moi Primary School Kabarak, which is among the schools that addressed their displeasure to the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC), requesting a review of the results, as the same did not reflect the ability of their candidates. It is imperative that we take note of these complaints and their potential impact on our education system."
