"content": "with great pomp and colour. However, this has been quickly dampened following the reported inconsistencies across the country. The discrepancies in the results range from: awarding candidates wrong marks; assigning candidates marks for subjects they did not sit for; schools being assigned different grades; and, in other instances candidates receiving higher grades for lower scores and vice versa. It is noted that a total of 1.4 million students sat the 2023 KCPE exams with the hope of joining secondary schools. However, these discrepancies will not only delay secondary school placement of these candidates, but also compromise the integrity of the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) in delivering credible results moving forward. It is, therefore, imperative that this matter be addressed to safeguard the future of these candidates. It is against this background that I seek leave for adjournment of the House to discuss this matter of national concern with a view of exploring possible ways of resolving the reported and widespread irregularities. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
