KNEC Addresses Claims of Changing KCSE Results

Date:

The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has issued a statement following claims that some Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results are being changed at a fee.

KNEC dismissed the claims maintaining that the alleged social media posts did not emanate from its portal.

The council thus warned parents and the 2023 KCSE candidates to be weary of individuals purporting to represent KNEC officials who are demanding money to adjust results.

According to the examinations council, the scheme is being pushed by individuals seeking to defraud parents.

“Do not fall prey to fraudsters purporting to be able to change KCSE grades. Don’t be conned!” KNEC stated while flagging the alleged numbers listed by the individuals purporting to represent the council.

The flagged post had directed parents and students to reach out using a specified number on WhatsApp and pay a certain amount for their results to be changed.

However, KNEC made it clear that it was a fraudulent scheme.

The sprouting of the scheme came after Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu ended SMS service in checking for KCSE results.

This was after irregularities were recorded during the dissemination of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exam results through SMS.
