KNEC acknowledged mistakes in the recently published KCPE results following numerous complaints from parents and candidates.
Certain students reported the absence of grades in specific subjects, whereas others received grades for courses they didn’t take.
The Education Cabinet Secretary supported KNEC by asserting that the chaos was the fault of the contracted SMS service provider.
Machogu reiterated that the information displayed on the KNEC portal was indeed correct, and any inaccuracies were limited to individuals who received their results through SMS.
Raila Odinga, the leader of Azimio, remarked that the government had mishandled the exams when addressing the alleged irregularities.
“Look at the examinations, students in the same class get similar marks in a subject, there is no bright or weak student,”
“What type of an exam is that? That is a Ruto and Gachagua exam,” Raila stated.
