    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the residents of Butere Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, Mr. Nicky Odongo Lubanga, a graduate of Maseno University was required to sit for Kenya Medical Laboratory Technologist and Technicians Board exams for certification. THAT, Odongo’s admission to the school meant that he had met the minimum requirement including scrutiny of the credentials and payments of the requisite admission fees of Kshs 1250. THAT, further, he paid Kshs 15,000 being examination fees to allow him sit for the said examinations which he was denied. After being barred from taking exams by the board, Mr. Odongo sought redress in Nakuru High Court and his prayers were granted. In honouring the court order, the Board of Management of Nakuru Medical Training College allowed him to sit for exams on 11th of December 2017. THAT, on 9th February 2018, results were released but Odongo never got official communication from the board, as is the rule, on whether he had passed or failed. THAT, on 26th February 2018, he went to school to check his results and after numerous failed attempts he confirmed that he had a pass. However, to date, he has not received official communication from the Registrar of the Board. THAT, Mr. Odongo needs to be issued with a practicing certificate to enable him scout for jobs. THAT, efforts to resolve the matter have been futile. THAT, the matter in respect of which his petition is made is not pending before any court of law or constitutional body. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly through the Departmental Committee on Education and Research: a. investigates into the matter with a view to addressing the petitioner’s plight; 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."
