"content": "10^ { -92 } . From these calculations, it is unlikely that all pupils can score same marks in any given subject. The odds are extremely low. Therefore, that example demonstrates that there were irregularities in this exam. I congratulate Hon. Mukunji for bringing this Motion. This discussion is important. We need to ask how we find ourselves in such a situation. There were 1,406,557 KCPE candidates in 2023. They sat for seven papers - the subjects are five, but the candidates sit for seven papers because of insha and composition. The 1,406,557 multiplied by seven will give you 9,845,889 scripts. How is it possible to mark all those scripts within such a short duration of time? There have been complaints of examiners not being paid or delays in payment. These teachers are constrained because they have not been paid their allowances yet have a deadline to meet. Perhaps, that explains why some of these errors occur. On the other hand, we can also give credit because we have come a long way. Previously, we experienced serious challenges, but we have made good progress. Particularly, I celebrate the heroes, that is, the teachers and police officers. They were rained on and risked their lives to deliver the examinations. We must applaud them as heroes in the 2023 KCPE examinations. Those who are letting the sector down must up their game and correct the anomaly."
