• 11 May 2017 in National Assembly: We need to look at this section so that when it comes to regulations, he will need to come back to this House so that we can approve the regulations made by the Cabinet Secretary, and the ones made by the Chief Justice because we will be donating a lot of power to them. This is in terms of making law. Otherwise, I support this Bill and thank you for this opportunity to make my contribution.

• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. May I make my own contributions to this Bill. I commend Hon. Agoi for coming up with this Bill and I support it. I believe it is in good faith and will enhance the administration of examinations in this country. It will also restore the respect we had for academic certificates in this country. It has several sections that I agree with. For instance, the idea of a tribunal is welcome. This will ensure that it is not up to one individual to make certain key decisions, which will in turn ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: tribunal. That way, we will ensure that the interests of other stakeholders in the examinations are taken care of. The idea of providing reasons for exam cancellation is welcome. We have cases where you simply see a “Y” or an “X” in your certificate and yet no reason is given. That is unfair. So, we need KNEC to be giving reasons for cancelling particular results. I wish you could also capture the issue of compensating teachers and security personnel who are involved in the exams. Last year, there was a lot of work in the administration of exams. Teachers and ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: This Bill is enhancing the powers of the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) in a way because integrity of examinations is being strengthened. We need to emphasis that the integrity of our certificates should never be put into question. It pains me sometimes when I see the Governor of Mombasa County explaining that his D- (minus) is wonderful because it took him to a public university, while we know very well that for one to join a public university you require a minimum grade of C+ (plus). We are making our kids believe that failure should be celebrated and manipulating ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Governor Joho happens not to be a Member of Parliament and I believe we can speak about him. We need to bring a substantive Motion if it concerns an MP but not when it concerns somebody else outside there who has been talking to the media and giving an impression of doing wonderful after getting a D- and being admitted to a public university. This does not happen to everyone; it only happens to a selected few. view
• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was only explaining that it is unusual to get a D- and get admitted to a university. I want to commend the CS for Education, Science and Technology for the way he managed last year’s examinations. That was wonderful and those results are being celebrated in the villages. It changed the notion of all the students in national schools getting clean A grade and day school ones getting something between E and D+ (Plus). The examinations were managed in a better way and students were not able to use view

• 29 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I believe the big schools used to approach the KNEC examination officers to assist them in getting better grades. If that was the practice they should have been able to get their usual over 200 As. But in a situation where a school dropped from 202 As to 2 As, I believe that shows there have been lots of irregularities in those schools. These schools have been making the day schools to look like they are underperformers. From last year’s results, day schools seem to have done very well and students got the minimum grades required to join public universities. ... view
