Agony for KCSE 2024 candidates as Knec cancels results for 840, with-helds 2,829The Kenya National Examinations Council, Knec, had cancelled results for 840 candidates who sat the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination. The affected candidates will not receive their results after the Council cancelled them for engaging in exam irregularities.

Speaking during Thursday’s release of the 2024 KCSE results, Education Cabinet Secretary Migos Ogamba noted that KNEC withheld 2,829 candidates’ results over suspicion of engaging in exam irregularities, pending the conclusion of an investigation process in 30 days.

He defended the decision, referencing the KNEC (Handling of Examination Irregularities) Rules of 2015, Legal Notice No. 132 of 2015, which grants the Council the legal mandate to either suspend or withhold a candidate’s results over exam malpractices.

Also, the CS confirmed that disciplinary action would be taken against 91 teachers who were reported to have aided in examination malpractices.

“It is unfortunate that a few contracted professionals and teachers are, however, still insistent on ruining the future of our learners by subjecting them to examination malpractices,” Ogamba said.

In his speech, the CS hailed KNEC for using anonymity while marking the papers to enhance credibility and transparency.

“This helped to improve objectivity during marking and holding candidates personally responsible for any irregularities,” he added.

Ogamba noted that all 962,512 candidates who sat the exam would transition to tertiary institutions as part of the government’s commitment to enhancing 100 per cent transition policy.
