    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the performance of Machakos District has been fluctuating nationally and comparatively in terms of the mean scores in KCSE since 2003 at the mean grade of C- on average, as follows: In 2003, the mean grade was 4.08; in 2004, it was 4.57 and in 2005, it was 4.60; some improvement but still a very poor average. In a comparative performance by province in selected districts, Machakos ranked No.54 nationally last year compared to Tharaka which was No.1, Bondo No.5 and so on. Essentially, Machakos was one of the lowest in the country. That comparison shows that Tharaka District with a mean score of 6.1 and position one nationally was better than Mackakos District by a mean score margin of 1.50. That does not say a great deal because it depends on the number of schools and candidates registered. (b) The district scored only three straight A's in 2004 and five in 2005. However, compared to Makueni, Bondo and Nyeri, for example, the results were as follows. Machakos in 2004 had only three A's, Nyeri had 30, Makueni 16, Bondo 6. Again, much depends on the type of school and the registration. But again, the numbers who got straight A's and A- were very few."
