Civil Society organisations in the Nyanza region want the Ministry of Education to compel secondary school principals to release Form Four certificates withheld in schools to alleviate the affected youth from trauma.

They expressed concerns that thousands of youth in the region cannot pursue their future careers because their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificates have been detained in schools.
