    "content": "where people from all over take their children to the nearest school. How is it possible that the best three came from one school? It just means there have been serious irregularities in the past which, therefore, means that we need to have laws to punish those officers that are found culpable in making that happen. Finally, I would like to finish by talking about the KNEC fee. I know it is slightly off topic but because we are dealing with the KNEC, when we amended this Bill in the past, we said that there should be no charge for KCPE and KCSE. I want to bring the attention of this House to the fact that in KCPE, much as we are not paying that money that was paid before, parents are still being charged very high and exorbitant rates for the online registration of exams. Some parts of this country do not have network connectivity. Therefore, the head-teachers would hide behind the guise of travelling long distances to look for registration centres. It is important that we come up with a system which will make it easy for our students and pupils in primary to sit for this exam for free without parents paying. Parents say that it is like they jumped from the frying pan into the fire. They jumped from paying the KNEC to paying the head-teachers. It is important that we look at this as we move forward. Finally, I wish Matiang’i very well in this year’s exams and hope that we will get as many As as this country deserves."
