"content": "Therefore, this Bill is trying to address all the ills particularly those emanating from the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) or a headteacher of a school. I am told that nowadays, mobile phones are a source of information and cheating. So, we should also come up with ways of curbing the use of the mobile phones. The Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) Department should come up with measures to curtail that kind of cheating. For that matter, we should recruit people who are ready to continue with studies in the next stage. This Bill addresses a situation where if a boy finds access to some of the ways of cheating or he is involved in cheating, that could not be his fault but the fault of other people I have mentioned. It could also be a fault of the station he sat examination and we should not, therefore, blame the student. Instead, we should blame the teacher, the headteacher, the KNEC or the police. The tribunal which will be set will look into who was responsible because sometimes you might punish the wrong people. You could punish the wrong student or punish the parent wrongly. The tribunal will stipulate very carefully who should be held responsible and what should happen to such culprits. So, the Bill is clear. It should curb cheating, which if not prevented at that level will produce robots. These are the fellows who will even continue causing problems in schools, always trying to disorganize the system so that they are seen as heroes and not other fellows who are good in reading to excel.The former ones would also like to take charge of such affairs like going on strike so that they are seen as heroes to that extent. This is a good Bill which should be supported. I am happy with the way it is coming up in the discussion. I support."
