partners, donors and the national Government, we allocate resources based on the requests that we have received. Ekerenyo Sub-County Hospital submitted a request and they are receiving that support. We are evaluating the other requests that we have received and based on availability of resources, we are always willing to support the county governments to ensure that all Kenyans have access to health services. I submit.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir and hon. Members. Yes, there is prioritisation criteria. Mostly, it is based on the needs of the populations, and the level of investment that is required. Where there is a huge population that needs a health facility, the level of investment is not that high and the resources are available, then that project is prioritised. In the case of Kakamega County, and you will agree with me Senator, it is a huge project that requires billions to finalisation. It is not just Kakamega County but even my own County of Trans Nzoia needs resources to ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I want to say something concerning KNEC. It must be noted that in Kenya and possibly across the region, examination determines and shapes the life of a person. It is the examinations that will determine whether you will succeed in life or not. In Kenya in particular, we peg so much on exams. This has actually affected our students both positively and negatively. To me, there is something wanting about the structures of KNEC. How they pass on the exam to the student ...

I also want to talk about university entry. There is a lot of talk about those that have scored D- and have not met the basic requirement for university entry and have had their way all through to study for their PhDs. I want to be on record. We have a basic minimum qualification for university entry, and it is a C+. If you are so determined, hardworking and in one way or the other you aspire to advance academically, what is wrong if you scored a D- or a C- and you know that, that does not qualify you ...

C+. That will correct everything rather than justifying other things that will mess up the education system.

As I conclude, I want to say that examinations in Kenya cannot be seen to be fair to all the students who sit for them. We have variations in provision of facilities. Certain schools do not have the basic facilities to enable those students to pass exams. They include books, pens, teaching materials and even teacher-student ratio. Those are the factors that determine the quality and passing of exams. Those are the factors that need to be considered if we want to have a fair representation of our students in the same examinations. In some cases, some teachers do not ...
