Dear All,
My earlier e-mail to Aduda has elisted direct questions as to how the
programing error could have occured.  Usually errors such as the one
explained by the Minister occur during Data Mining.

Researchers generally define data mining (sometimes called data or
knowledge discovery) as the process of analyzing data from different
perspectives and summarizing it into useful information - information that
can be used to increase revenue, cuts costs, or both. Data mining software
is one of a number of analytical tools for analyzing data. It allows users
to analyze data from many different dimensions or angles, categorize it,
and summarize the relationships identified. Technically, data mining is
the process of finding correlations or patterns among dozens of fields in
large relational databases like KCSE.

Data does not automatically become information unless it is mined properly.
