    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Omogeni for bringing that Petition to this House. The cries of the students of the KSL are real. Students who did well in their primary, secondary schools and got A’s in universities fail multiple times. So, the question any human being would ask is whether the exam is real or it intends for people to fail. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a friend of mine who was widowed at a very young age brought up her two children by herself. One of her children failed four times. Where is she supposed to get all that money yet she is the only parent taking care of her children? That student also feels like she is not worth that exam. She did extremely well in her university, secondary and primary schools. She was in the University of Nairobi (UoN). What is it that they test? Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House needs to do a thorough and diligent investigation on what really goes on. Some lawyers need to read the script of those students to verify that the real exam is marked or students are failed intentionally. My profession of Certified Public Accountants (CPA) used to be the same until half of Kenyans started the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) then they realised that they need to mark the papers. Unfortunately, for a person to be admitted to the Bar, he or she needs to go through KSL and pass that exam. So, those students do not have that option. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee that will handle that will need to go further than that and identify people who have failed more than two times. Let senior and competent lawyers that we have in this House conduct sample checks of whether their answers met the requirement. If there is an accounting paper, I am ready to mark those that are failing people."
