Musila","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":94,"legal_name":"David Musila","slug":"david-musila"},"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that on 3rd November, 2004, Parliament passed a Motion requiring the Government to release all KCSE certificates held by schools on account of fees balances and requiring schools to cease withholding certificates on account of fees balances; appreciating that in December 2006, the Government of the day ordered the release of all KCSE certificates held by schools, but that the certificates were released only that one time; concerned that since 2007, schools have continued to withhold certificates, especially those of orphans and children from poor families on account of fees balances; aware that Section 10(1)(b) of the Kenya National Examinations Council Act (No.29 of 2012) outlaws the withholding of certificates by any person or institution; the Senate urges the national Government to take immediate measures to release all certificates held by heads of secondary schools since 2007 and to ensure that no head of a school, person or institution continues to withhold KCSE certificates."}
