    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I request for a Statement from the Committee Chairperson pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c) on denial of access to Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) offices Nairobi. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c), I seek to request for a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Education and Research, on the manner in which Hon. Benard Shinali, Member for Ikolomani and I were handled at the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) offices along Dennis Pritt Road in Nairobi today. We were denied access to these offices today, Wednesday 28th March 2018. Pursuant to Article 1, read together with Article 95 of the Constitution, our mandate to represent the citizens has been infringed. We were seeking for a meeting with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the chairperson of KNEC so as to deliberate and resolve the cancellation of 2017 examination results for Chebuyusi Boys High School, where 190 students are affected. Pursuant to Articles 28, 33, 35 and 95 of the Constitution on human dignity, freedom of expression, access to information and our role as legislators to represent the people of our constituencies respectively, the matter is grave and requires the chairperson to undertake to inform the House and ourselves why we were given such treatment. Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence that the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research undertakes to provide a Statement on the above matter. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
