"content": "This Bill is enhancing the powers of the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) in a way because integrity of examinations is being strengthened. We need to emphasis that the integrity of our certificates should never be put into question. It pains me sometimes when I see the Governor of Mombasa County explaining that his D- (minus) is wonderful because it took him to a public university, while we know very well that for one to join a public university you require a minimum grade of C+ (plus). We are making our kids believe that failure should be celebrated and manipulating systems when you are not qualified is a good thing. We should not encourage and implant it in our kids that they need to relax in school because after all they will go through the back door and get university degrees. The governor has failed to explain that after getting his D- he undertook a certificate and diploma course."
