    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank Hon. Members for their contributions. The issue of examination leakages is very serious because it is affecting the quality of education in this country. I commit that my Committee will take up the matter and make a follow up. As Hon. Anami has said it is alarming, looking at the results distribution curve, with a school producing 300 straight “As”, although the KNEC gave candidates whose results were cancelled 30 days to visit their offices and give explanations. As a Committee we need to go further. I am also aware that there was a committee formed between the Ministry of Education, Research and Technology and the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to look into the matter. However, we will pick up the matter with the committee and report back to this house within the time given, hoping that this issue will not affect our examinations again. As an Hon. Member has mentioned, it is really bad when we have parents buying leaked examination papers for their children. I also want to tell Hon. Members and the public as a whole that when they receive leaked examination papers and start redistributing them, it is a crime. As a nation, and the people who aid students, we need to take responsibility. Some of the culprits were arrested last year. We need to see their names published in the newspapers. We need to name and shame them because they are messing up the future of the current young generation. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
