    "content": "Marking of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams is yet to start. Such occurrences tend to shake the confidence that parents and schools have in the country’s examination system. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Section 10(1)(a) of the Kenya National Examination Council Act gives the Council the mandate to set and maintain examination standards, and conduct public academic, technical and other national examinations within Kenya at basic and tertiary levels. The irregularities have portrayed a picture of the Council’s failure to execute its function to deliver credible results to students who have toiled for eight good years. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we note that this was the last cohort of the 8-4-4 System sitting for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams and we hope that such occurrences of irregularities will not be embraced in the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC). This year’s KCPE results will go down in history as one of the worst hit by irregularities since the inception of the 8-4-4 system in 1985. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
