    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that relying on the web site is being elitist because not many of our parents, including hon. Members, surf the internet to check for information. However, I said that this is one of the measures that we have taken. We place advertisements through the Press and explain that deadlines are gone and that parents should go to schools and check. The web site is just one of the ideas. It is not an ideal way of communicating with majority of Kenyan parents. With regard to action on teachers who collect money but do not register students, we take disciplinary action when we find them at fault. We take disciplinary action like suspending them from employment. I like the proposal by the hon. Member, hon. Ojiambo that we use our DEOs and other education officers to ensure they give us a feedback with regard to registration and ensure that no child is left out, which is a way of reaching the grassroots. Those are some of the measures we have taken but we will continue to ask parents to be responsible because it is their children who are sitting the examinations. So, they should inform us. If they informed us in good time, we would take the necessary action before the deadline and an appropriate period would be given through which something can be done."
