    "content": "studying for the last eight years, and they expected after this, to go from primary school and join secondary school, since this is another step in their life or education. They never expected manipulation of their results. This will dampen their spirits. They will not believe in themselves in the near future or when they go to secondary school. In this particular case, it is the end of 8-4-4. Previously, those whose exam results were cancelled, had an opportunity to go back to Class Eight to do the exams again in the next year, but in this particular case, this is the last 8-4-4 examination. Those who got “Y”, meaning their exams have been cancelled cannot proceed to Form One this coming year. Hon. Temporary Speaker, somebody must take responsibility for this issue. We cannot cancel or manipulate exams of young people who have been working very hard in the last eight years. It is the same for us politicians. Can you imagine you have been waiting for your results after an election and in the last minute you are told you have been beaten in the election, yet you were so sure you were going to win? Hon. Temporary Speaker, as a Member of the other side, you know the pain you felt when you expected to have been declared the winners of the last general election. You also felt your results had been manipulated. This is the same problem these young people are facing and it is difficult for them and their parents to seek justice because it is very expensive. The process that they go through to seek justice for what has happened to them is very expensive and they cannot afford that. The KNEC must take responsibility for this and it means they must get out of office for them to be audited. We cannot audit them when they are still in office. I support the Motion by Mhe. Mukunji and we need action taken against all those who participated in the manipulation of exams."
