Hon. Deputy Speaker, ten days is okay. The Chairman, having confirmed that it is a complex issue, and I agree since there were a lot of Statements that were requested before which took a lot of time, is it not possible--- Honestly I would not mind more time provided that a comprehensive solution is found for this.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, just one more clarification please. Since this issue keeps on coming up, I thought the issue of a task force being formed would have served my request better than just a Statement that will be answered after ten or 15 days. This is because as we speak right now there are vetting processes going on.

Hon. Speaker, I wish to differ with my colleague. Some of us are very eager to contribute to these Reports. These Reports are very important as it is the financial spending of the Government. So, we want the debate to continue until all people sitting here have contributed.

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology regarding national examination malpractices.

The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) is reported to have accused examination officials and teachers in several schools of colluding with students to leak national examination papers. This is despite the stiff penalties introduced by the KNEC Act of 2012. Additionally, in 2012, about 1,700 students had their KCSE results cancelled due to irregularities. Out of this, about 1,600 were from the north eastern region. However, no action appears to have been taken against the teachers and the officers involved.

In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on the remedies being developed to deal with examination malpractices and measures put in place to ensure that all parties culpable are justly punished as opposed to only penalising students.
