    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education regarding the rampant discrepancies in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Examination (KCPE) 2023 results released by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide a comprehensive report on all documented instances of erroneous grading of candidates in the 2023 KCPE results, specifically addressing cases where incorrect marks were awarded, wrong subjects graded and questionable results published, clarifying whether KNEC has addressed each of the instances. (2) Explain why there were discrepancies in marks received by candidates on the KNEC portal and through the SMS service provider, detailing to the Senate gaps that caused the errors and how they have been addressed. (3) Explain why candidates, who received marks for subjects they did not sit for, which has since been explained by KNEC as a misalignment on affected candidates, explain the impact of such misalignments on the affected candidates. (4) Explain the steps, if any, that the Ministry of Education, together with KNEC and other stakeholders plan on taking to resolve all complaints and cases of discrepancies before conducting the secondary school selection process, so as not to disadvantage the affected learners. (5) Clarify the protocol and timelines available to candidates for contesting their results and addressing their needs and concerns, and steps, if any, that KNEC and the Ministry of Education have taken to assist vulnerable learners, especially those in marginalised communities across the country, who may not have the access of information and resources to make these complaints. Thank you."
