    "content": "There is a directive by the Government to ensure that all certificates for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates are released, but there are challenges. There are some candidates who have sat for examinations, and who wanted to be recruited into the National Police Service but they could not because the head teachers and principals have not released their certificates. During the Third Reading, I intend to introduce some amendments to ensure that we put this into law so that principals do not hold the certificates of former students who have completed school. Finally, we have the issue of examination leakages. It would be very sad for somebody to study for eight years, then four years and then after Form Four, he is denied his results because of examination leakages. We want to ensure that we tighten the process and ensure that the employees of the KNEC are paid well. Perhaps the reason as to why they leak examinations to principals and other institutions is the pay. We need to support the KNEC to ensure that their employees are paid well, so that they do not get tempted to leak examinations for additional funds. With those few remarks, I support the Kenya National Examinations Council (Amendment) Bill."
