The girl said that they threatened her with a gun and she feared death and so she had to give in. I watched the story. Nobody has sued Citizen Television . This is a child. We need to do something since we have a responsibility. I wanted to suggest to the Committee to encourage the Government that this education system is simply too large. What you are calling exam irregularities cannot be stopped if you have to transport exam materials from Nairobi to Garissa or Moyale. It is like the health problem which we have sorted out, where the Medical Officer of Health (MOH) comes to the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) to pick medicine for Siaya.
