    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this touches on the definition of leakage. What I wanted to say is that the impact of access to an examination paper in the morning of the examination, or one hour before the examination, is negligible. Let me say that this is a leakage. But I am just talking about the impact of getting an examination paper just before the examination. I just want to say that if you get it just before the examination, its impact is negligible. All of us have been students. We know that if you are a good crammer and you get an examination paper just before the examination, you will tend to get more confused. So, its impact is not big. But I agree that this is a problem. Where there was that problem, we have taken action. Already, some students and officers have been arrested and will be penalised. Let me also say that since this incident happened, my Ministry dispatched a team to the Coast. Some intelligence officers will also go there to do exactly what the newsmen did, to see if they can access examination papers. This is how we managed to find out that some papers were improperly released by a supervisor and not an invigilator. Invigilators have not been associated with this incident. It was officers who collected the examination papers from a police armoury who could have been associated with some kind of leakage. Finally, action is being taken against the supervisors who have been associated with examination leakage. I would like to assure hon. Members that we will bring those concerned to book. Nobody is hiding anything. I would like to remind hon. Kosgey that the biggest examination leakage occurred in 1981, when he was the Minister for Education. I would like him to tell us what he did."
