The results of 1,309 candidates who sat for the 2019 examinations have been cancelled.
While releasing the exams on Wednesday in Nairobi, education cabinet secretary Prof George Magoha said the cancellation is as a result of students being involved in various forms of cheating that included; being found with mobile phones, carrying aunthorised materials to examination rooms among others.
“I wish to mention that over the period of the exams, we collected close to 100 mobile phones from various examination centres. In Kisii, we apprehended more than 10 impersonators who had connived with unscrupulous people to produce fake photo albums to give the impression they were genuinely KNEC registered candidates”. Said Magoha.
In Nairobi’s Eastleigh, 35 mobile phones were collected from a single centre where unfortunately cases of individuals who were attempting early exposure of examination papers, among others ills were apprehended.
“Our enhanced measures of fighting examination cheating in our schools have succeeded with a high measure of success. I wish to state that we have now stamped out the overt cases of cheating that were rampant in our education ecosystem”. He added.
However, Magoha pointed out that the number of cases of irregularities is much lower than 4,519 cancelled in the year 2018.
Moreover, 658 results have been withheld for routine checks on small details, including accuracy of their names and registration details.
These results are expected to be released to candidates as soon as the verification process is completed.
