    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to comment on this matter. I would like to thank Hon. Chris Wamalwa, who is my counterpart in the Minority side of this House, for bringing this Petition to the House. My Constituency is a victim of cancellation of results. We have two schools – St. Michael’s Makhwale and Lubinu Secondary School – with a total of 105 students, whose results were canceled. We are talking about the future of the students in those schools. I believe that we pay teachers to teach and not to assist students get funny results. Last week I went to the KNEC Headquarters to find out the reasons why our students got “Y” results. I was told that they received the results because of collusion. I did not understand how collusion would have caused students to miss their results. That reminded me the reason why the Ministry is not ranking students. How would you not rank students on one hand and on the other hand fail to release the results of others? I would like to request the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology to go deeper and investigate all the departments under the Ministry of Education. The people who may have played a major role in this scam are teachers. In order for us, as a country, to be able to eradicate cheating in national examinations, the Ministry should come up with a mode of punishing teachers whose schools get involved in this malpractice. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
