    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to also thank Sen. Hassan for coming up with this Motion. When the names appeared in the newspapers, I was wondering why Sen. Hassan was in that position because I know what he is worth in this House. If you remember, in the Ninth Parliament, he was voted one of the best debaters only to hear that this time round, he has not even appeared in the top ten. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, things happen but you have to ask why they happen. The Cabinet Secretary for Education, Prof. Kaimenyi, banned ranking of schools by the Kenya National Examinations Council. You can, therefore, see what it means. These are the kind of hustles that would spell doom to pupils, parents and teachers in our schools if ranking was to be doubted. This is the reason why ranking of schools was banned by the Cabinet Secretary. That notwithstanding, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we can even rank ourselves. By the look of things, even the same public can assess us the way we talk here, the way we pose and the way we are here for long hours. They even know the kind of contributions that we make while out in the counties. Therefore, whatever is in the newspapers is not the gospel truth. We need to come up with other alternatives if one method fails. It is true that on some of the figures and derivations, newspapers could be inciting the masses. We, therefore, need not to pay attention on the matter the way most Members have said because we know ourselves. I know what I do for the Senate and what I do The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
