    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition. However, from the onset, I welcome the students from Bungoma. I encourage them to visit the Senate and the other House of Parliament so that they can aspire to be here in future. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of the Petition, I am a little bit baffled. My take will be completely different. Failing an exam does not mean it is the end of the world for a person. It will be ridiculous for us to encourage failure. When you look at the panel that marks the exams from the Council of Legal Education (CLE), it is made up of professional lawyers, people from the State Office and the Office of the Director of public Prosecution (ODPP). There is a big problem which came in a few years ago when people were talking about taking away the mandate of KSL and giving it to private institution so that it can spread. Consequently, any person can go to the UoN, go to a similar arrangement like KSL then go out to practise. What we need to look at when we are looking at this Petition is how true the issue of money is. They are talking about Kshs15000 being paid to re-sit an exam. How was that student performing when he or she was at the University of Nairobi (UoN) or any other university in this country before they went to the Kenya School of Law (KSL)?"
