"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion which was brought by Hon. Mukunji. At the outset, we must call out KNEC because it is becoming a national shame. This is not something that has just occurred this year. It also happened in other years. What were the other cabinet secretaries for education doing to get it right that the current one is not doing? I remember we registered around 100 Grade As in Kenya under a certain cabinet secretary. We are now registering more than 5,000 Grade As in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education. What is he not doing that the previous cabinet secretaries were doing to get it right? We must call out KNEC and the Cabinet Secretary for Education. If there is need, he must be brought to this House to answer Kenyans and tell their representatives what he is doing in the Ministry of Education. He is not doing the right work that the previous cabinet secretaries were doing. I want to tell KNEC that the President is asking us to be digital. He is trying so much to enable Kenyans do their work online. What is wrong with posting those results on the KNEC website or sending them to the school emails instead of charging Kenyans Ksh25? Imagine a family that has parents and siblings and everybody sent a message. By the end of the day, maybe everybody had sent three messages for Ksh25 each in a family of around six people. That is six people times three messages. The system was not working. How much did Kenyans lose through this? They must use Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and stop taking parents’ money by asking them to send short messages."
