    "content": "If you remember, in 2015, there was a Form Four student in one of the Churches who confessed of getting grade A in the exams, and he wanted to be prayed for his sins, for him to re-sit the exam. You can imagine the emotional torture that that child had gone through, before admitting to that in a Church full of people. The economy of examination cheating was at Kshs5 billion, before Prof. Magoha stopped the cheating. Examination cheating is the worst that can happen to any country. I am sure that the Government is not willing to spend that money, but if there is a solution to stop this cheating without having to deploy all that security--- I am speaking from a point of knowledge, because I used to sit in the Board of the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC). Mr. Speaker, Sir, if Prof. Magoha had not taken over the examination docket; this country would have gone to the dogs. This is an issue of integrity of the whole society. I believe that teachers are also parents to students. Instead of all of us colluding to strengthen the morality of our children, we are doing so to destroy our nation through cheating of exams. It is no wonder when our buildings are collapsing and our engineers are coming from China, instead of our own. This is something that has a far reaching impact. This boils to my position on corruption and morality of this nation. I am very happy that Prof. Magoha was able to at least stop cheating in exams. I do not see any other person who could have done that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
