    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I would like to also take this opportunity to welcome the students from Bungoma and Narok counties. I was in Bungoma County last week and passed through Lusaka Road. You did a commendable job and the people there are nostalgic concerning your work. I strongly support this Petition because I was a lecturer at the university. At that time, the students who were studying law were failing compared to other courses. In fact, there is no reason a student should fail a university examination as it is one of the easiest to pass. Students of law go through moments that are psychologically torturing. I remember a parent complaining to me at one point that his son was in the School of Law and he was helpless, talking to himself and frustrated because of examinations. The son kept reading but he would keep repeating examinations. I agree with some Senators who have said that sometimes some lecturers can become sadists. It is unfortunate that they become sadists and just want a few students in the law institution. The examinations should be objective. The examinations that the students do at the Kenya School of Law (KSL) should be what they have been prepared to do.If a student got First Class Honours in the undergraduate studies, there is no reason they should not pass the examinations at the KSL. I agree with the Senate Majority Leader over a statement he has made; that there is need for universities to prepare their law students for the pre-Bar and Bar examinations. If they are prepared they will pass the examinations. There is also need for universities to ensure that there is a unit within the university course that prepares students specifically for the pre-Bar and Bar examinations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Petition and there is need for us to interrogate it."
