    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. I take this opportunity to support the petition by Sen. Omogeni. The mass failure as the KSL is not an issue that should be blamed on students alone. When students fail and fail yet again, then there is reason to question the teacher. The mass failure is a fault of both the students and their lecturers. When I was growing up, the legal profession used to be one of the most prestigious professions. Only the best in academics would be admitted to pursue a degree in law. As the Committee of the Senate looks into this petition, it is time to rethink about the Module II or so-called parallel degree programmes. What courses should we enroll students in for the parallel degree programmes and what courses should we not. Mr. Speaker, Sir, without casting aspersions on any one, it is becoming increasingly difficult to even get lecturers of law in universities to write convincing legal opinions. The other day, I read what I would call the most disturbing ruling from the highest court in the land where the judges sat and agreed that a person does not have degree papers but he lives and conducts himself like a graduate. If these are the tendencies that we are taking to the KSL, there is reason for our students to fail. The use of failures as a source of revenue for the KSL should be investigated. Charging Kshs15,000 per paper for a re-mark is extreme. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
