EXAMINER’S REPORT
EXAMINER’S GENERAL COMMENTS & PERFORMANCE
The standard of the paper was the same as previously admitted ones. The allocation of
marks was fairly distributed to cover the syllabus. With regard to performance, there is
still room for improvement. The performance was average though there were some
instances of high performance which spread across board.
It has been observed that candidates did not take their time to read and appreciate the
requirements of the question before they attempted answering the question. This could
be attributed to the fact that it appears candidates have not prepared to read text books,
cases and Acts that relate to the various subjects. Most of them appear to take past
questions and try to answer them with the result that as soon as the examiner twists the
requirements slightly they fall victim to the agama lizard syndrome. In other instances
there were clear cases of unpreparedness on the part of the candidates could register for
an examination and then refuse to prepare for it.
The instances of high performance cut across all centres and there were no indications
of any collusion. Generally, the high performed candidates exhibited a lot of grip over
the subject whilst the low performed candidates exhibited abject ignorance and
unpreparedness. All that could be said about the performance is that future candidates
should ensure that they would read the various text books and the Acts enforced in the
country. The bibliography is in the syllabus.
