    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to say something about education. It is bad when we know the child went to school, the teachers and parents do their work but, at the end, you hear the exam has been cancelled. The child suffers. When the child suffers because the exam has been cancelled, it is sad. We have never heard the person who sold that exam to those children arrested or punished. The people suffering are innocent. The child is given answers by the teacher, who knows what is happening. The child has no problem. The parent and the child suffer. So, it is good to have a tribunal so that when we have those problems, there is a place people can go and appeal. Now they have nowhere to go. The parents are not able. They struggle to educate their children from Form One to Form Four. They are just suffering. The people who are doing that are able and have the knowledge of how they are corrupting the system. But as for the poor people, they have no one to stand for them. When their exams are cancelled, they just go and suffer at home with their parents. It is very bad and yet, we are sitting here without protecting them. We are not here because of the rich, but for all Kenyans. The people who are leaking examinations know who they sell them to. The authorities have not done anything to curb the practice of examination irregularities. We want the culprits arrested because they are spoiling the whole country. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education, Science and Technology, Mr. Matiang’i, must bring the culprits to book instead of just cancelling examination results. It is better for the CS to establish a tribunal to get to the bottom of this matter by listening to children from poor families who are innocent. They probably do not even know what lead to the cancelation of their examination results. Maybe, they get leakages through their classmates, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
