"content": "surrendered this country to cartels. I am now persuaded that the school fires were caused by exam cartels that Dr. Matiang’i has sent into bankruptcy and oblivion. Secondly, I wish to congratulate Prof. Magoha and his team because they have set the standards and done the marking. Thirdly, I wish to congratulate the top five counties; Kirinyaga County with a mean score of 274, Elgeyo-Marakwet at 271, Makueni County at 267, Nandi County at 267 and Uasin Gishu County at 266. If you compare the well-to- do counties with Makueni County, I can only conclude that we have done very well as a county. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Dr. Matiang’i has just proved that anything is possible in this country. I hope that as we progress towards our elections, we can have results announced in a day, just like we have had these examinations conducted seamlessly. The headlines are encouraging; no one will ever buy a grade in this Republic. If we can improve the education sector, we can instill the confidence. Private schools are perpetuated by the notion that public schools are mismanaged; that is a fact. If our children can go to public schools and get good grades, then cartels who are thriving and making million of shillings in running private schools will soon run out of business and education will go back where it has been. When all this money is invested in the education sector, we can have confidence. Those who used to look at the late hon. Michuki as a performer now know that we do not need so many people. Sen. Muthama has correctly said that we do not need to ask what to do. Dr. Matiang’i did not go to every examination centre or opened every examination paper. The message to President Uhuru is that he does not need to be in every office or institution. We can kill corruption by jailing two people for a long time; nobody will dare to steal a coin. Some people are proud of the things they are doing, yet others are languishing in poverty. Let Kenyans who work hard get their examinations results on merit, and we jail thieves. Thank you."
