    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, on 16th October, 2013, I sought a Statement from the Committee on Education, Research and Technology. The Committee has been very unfair to me. The Statement was about the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). Even though I gave my personal contacts to the Clerk of the Committee and Chairperson, they did not bother to invite me to their meeting when they invited the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of KNEC, so that I could interrogate the matter. On Thursday, they went further to lay a report in the House even thought this was not part of the scheduled business indicated on the Order Paper of Thursday. Furthermore, the report is very shallow and I was not accorded an opportunity to interrogate it. I feel that this was so much unfair to me. Later on, I contacted the Chairperson of the Committee, who gave me a copy. I feel that this matter was treated casually. Therefore, I request that some directions be given because I would have wished to be present when the CEO appeared before the Committee. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
