    "content": "THAT, on 3rd March, 2016, the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Science and Technology released the KCSE results; THAT, results of certain schools were cancelled and a total of 64 from 14 national schools were among the 5,101 candidates whose 2015 KCSE examination results were cancelled over alleged malpractices; THAT, further a total of 2,538 candidates who were alleged to have cheated were from 150 sub-county schools, 1,817 were from 56 county schools, 512 were from 56 private schools and 170 from 29 private exam centres; THAT, the methodology that was being used to cancel the said results is not clear; THAT, the matter presented in this Petition is not pending before any tribunal or court of law. Therefore, you humble Petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Education, Science and Technology:- a) Identifies the criteria that was used to cancel the said results; b) Inquires into measures being taken against the Kenya Examinations Council to deter such practices since they are the custodian of the exams; c) Establishes how long it is going to take to resolve this matter, including stating the way forward for the affected students because it is bringing a lot of stress and torture to the parents and even to the said schools; d) Makes any order or direction that it will deem fit in the circumstances of this case. And your Petitioners will ever pray. I thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I requested, I know you are a very listening Speaker. Please allow a few Members to ventilate. I thank you."
