Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that Article 35 (1) (a) of the Constitution provides for the right of access to information held by the State; further aware that the education sector has recently been marred by confusion and unnecessary anxiety due to the abolishment of the ranking system in national examinations; concerned that this action by the Ministry of Education was arrived at without due consultation with all relevant stakeholders including Kenya Union of Post- Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), the parent associations, investors in the sector among others, contrary to Article 118 of the Constitution; cognisant of the fact that the ranking system has been a long-held tradition in the sector both locally and internationally, and has been a source of positive competition, motivation, rewarding and an important guideline for resource allocation; this House urges the Government through the Ministry immediately reverts to the ranking system for national examinations and, specifically, the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker---"
