    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary, Speaker. I join my colleagues in thanking and congratulating Sen. Musila, who is almost synonymous with the demand for the release of certificates to our children. I am surprised that nobody has heard him speak. We are very interesting people where even the parents whose children have their certificates detained, we do not want to listen. This is not the first time and not even in the Jubilee Government that this story of certificates has been brought up. I am told, Sen. Musila, when you were in the previous Parliament, this was your song. Why did anybody not listen to you until now that we are moving to pass this Bill? Today, I do not know whether you are aware we have about 18 Bills which have been generated by the Senate that are supposed to have been cleared by the Senate and then sent to the “Lower” House and nobody has put them on the Order Paper. I am praying very hard like yourself that as soon as this Bill is passed by the Senate, somebody whose children’s certificates are detained by the headteachers is in the “Lower” House. Most of us are voted by Kenyans whose children’s certificates have been detained. When it comes to voting time, they are so faithful to vote for us, but we do not bother when it comes to defending the right of their children to get their certificates. Madam Temporary Speaker, if there is something that is at the heart of every Kenyan today, it is education as a whole ranging from nursery school to university. It is the only thing that everybody knows about Kenya, unfortunately, it is the only Ministry and the only agenda that has been messed up more than ever before. It is so shameful, indeed, that the trend which has been generated for the last four to five years is that there is exam leakage. With the current social media and everybody in the whole world knows that there is exam leakage and yet the best brains in Kenya go to top universities in the whole world with a rider that during that time when they sat for their exam, there was exam leakage. Recently, we saw that even this year’s KCSE exams, there was leakage. We, probably, saw it in the newspapers. I am worried about the schools that normally do very well when marking time comes, those are the schools that will feel the pinch and will suffer most because of the inefficiency of the KNEC. They normally like wiping their tears on such innocent schools. They do not touch national schools. Three years ago, a school that I support did very well in the exams. They were No.2 in the whole Republic under category of district schools, Karenger Boys. The following year someone wondered how giants like Moi Girls, Eldoret were beaten by these small schools. Somehow, they came up with something called collusion. When you asked what it is, they did not open it up. That is where the KNEC hides their mess. They say collusion is not investigated. During collusion, there was a policeman in 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."
