    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in quick succession of my time, so that they can also benefit from my solomonic presentation, I want to join in the Statement on the replacement of lost academic items. I disagree with Sen. Maanzo. This is a public document, and it should be free. You remember when we wanted to raise the cost of getting an Identity (ID) card from Kshs100 to Kshs1,000, many Kenyans objected. Some of the concerns of the Generation Z was also provision of public documents. The issuance of letter of certificate by Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) at a cost of Kshs5,220 is embarrassing and unfortunate. It should be withdrawn. I expect the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education to transmit, through you, that KNEC should remove this punitive Kshs5,220 because it is a public institution. The KNEC gets its budget from Kenyans. This is double taxation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, why is it so hard to access my Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) or Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) certificate? There is a Member of this House that questioned my performance. It should be a matter of printing and giving it to the Kenyans. I remember when there were floods in Naivasha, Nakuru County, the other day, the Government ordered free issuance of IDs without charge. It is very unfortunate that ordinary young Kenyans who do not have jobs are being told to pay Kshs5,220 for documents and testimonials from KNEC. Most of them are young people who do not have jobs. Sometimes, the loss is caused by fires. Some are involved in love triangles, where somebody “ anakula fare ”, and then they come and burn your documents. At the end of the day---"
