Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has announced that candidates who sat their Kenya Certificate Primary Education (KCPE) examination last month will know their results by next week.
While speaking in Nyaribari Masaba, Kisii county yesterday, Machogu said the ministry is already working on processing the results.
“Next week we are announcing KCPE examination results and you will not hear any cases of cheating under the leadership of Machogu. The grading of Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) is progressing well and I can assure you, the results will not be riddled with any irregularities,” Machogu said.
A total of 1,287,597 candidates were registered for the KPSEA and 1,244,188 candidates for KCPE across 493 examination storage and distribution centres.
The ministry ensured that measures were initiated to ensure that cheating was eliminated during the examination process.
“We delivered a credible KCPE exam. It was done with integrity. I was not able to supervise exams in every corner of the country but we had put up a system where all officers manning the exams had individual responsibility and accountability,” he added.
