"content": "I believe the big schools used to approach the KNEC examination officers to assist them in getting better grades. If that was the practice they should have been able to get their usual over 200 As. But in a situation where a school dropped from 202 As to 2 As, I believe that shows there have been lots of irregularities in those schools. These schools have been making the day schools to look like they are underperformers. From last year’s results, day schools seem to have done very well and students got the minimum grades required to join public universities. The CS needs to be encouraged to continue with the same spirit and possibly he will instill in Kenyans the spirit of appreciating integrity in all they do. In this Bill it is stated that appeals must be determined within 30 days. I believe that is next to impossible, if there are no many tribunals. There can be more than 2000 people making appeals and can this be determined in 30 days? I welcome the idea of penalising KNEC officers heavily if they are involved in examination irregularities by giving them a five year jail term or a fine of Kshs5 million."
