    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the report where Prof. Kaimenyi gave the results for the 2014 group, around March, 2015, he indicated at that time that the grades of 2,975 candidates had been cancelled. This included five national schools. That sent shivers down the spines of most Kenyans that even in national schools, this cheating scam was rampant there. At that time, when he was the Minister for Education, he reported that this was a significant drop from 3,812 candidates. This was a drop in figures. However, 2,975 is a bad figure to report when it comes to issues of cheating. What comes into your mind is: What is happening to our young people, their confidence and reading abilities? They want to score “As” without working for them. They want to look for all means to get there. What was most shocking is that when he gave those results, he went on to further assert that in one way or another, teachers and principals were part of the cheating. This reminds me of a story my father told me many years ago about students in Form Four who were sitting for an exam and there was somebody who was herding cattle just around the corner. All those students would just be looking up and when the herder said something, everybody would write. Apparently, this was the teacher pretending to be herder and giving answers"
