    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for recognising that I should say something about this Bill. The Bill was before our Committee sometime back and we discussed it exhaustively and, in fact, this morning, we had a discussion pertaining to its content. It is important to note why the Bill came around this time. The KNEC has been in existence since the time we were in school. Some of us sat an exam called East African Advanced Certificate of Education. That was an examination which was done by students from the three countries in East Africa namely Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The Secretary of the East Africa Examination Council then, was Mr. Kiwanuka. We used to be trained as examiners in Kampala or Entebbe. The issue of collusion and cheating is wrong. It dates back to 1960s and 1970s. However, in the recent past, it has become rampant and a practice in most Kenyan schools. When the KNEC Act was enacted that repealed the East Africa Examination Council Act, Kenyans found it easy to penetrate to these offices to get access to information which otherwise would be important to gauge and examine students so that they can move to the next level. What it takes is that a student will be examined every other time in whichever class they are in by administering continuous assessment tests The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
