    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it has been a tradition that after examinations, ranking is done. However, looking at the approach that was used by Prof. Kaimenyi, whom I respect very much, I can say here that his was not a participatory approach. We have heard an outcry and many complaints from KNUT and pupils that the ranking system should be reversed. The ranking system motivates students. It has also motivated the teachers.Whatever you do, you want to know how you have performed. I want to quote some professors in the Harvard Business School - that is Prof. Kaplan and Prof. Norton. Those are the people who developed the balance score card and they said this: “If you cannot measure, you cannot manage.” I have seen engineers harp the same message. I think hon. Gumbo will talk more about that. In every process, whatever you are doing, you must be able to measure. Once you have measured, you should be able to rank. I want to give an example of our presidential elections. After Kenyans voted, they had to do the ranking to establish who was number one, two and three. President Uhuru Kenyatta was number one and that is why he is the President today. You can imagine a situation where there is no ranking."
