    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Education concerning the ongoing national examinations; the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). As we are all aware, there are pupils who found out on the day they were supposed to start examinations that they were not registered to sit for the them. This is not the first time it has happened. Secondly, we have children in insecurity hit areas who are unable to sit for the examinations. So, the Minister should tell us how many candidates this year are unable to sit for their examinations. Some of those candidates are girls who look big and now they have to wait for another one year. They have also lost their examination fees, yet they are very poor children. We want to know how many they are. We would also like to know what mechanism the Ministry uses just before the examinations start to ensure that parents and pupils know that they must ensure that they are actually going to sit for the examinations. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
