The results of the 2022 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations were released on Wednesday, December 21, 2022 by Education CS Ezekiel Machogu.
Over 1,244,188 pupils sat for the national examinations, which began on November 18, with the best student obtaining 431 marks.
In contrast to prior years, Education CS Machogu did not read the top ten KCPE candidates’ names. Nevertheless, independent media reports indicate that Otieno Lewis Omondi of St. Peter’s Mumias Primary and Kwaro Makokha Robinson of Christ The King Academy Bungoma emerged top in KCPE nationally with 431 marks each.
