Top schools shocked after their results are withheld

Teachers and parents of St Anthonys Boys Kitale, celebrate with the top student in Trans Nzoia County, Bivan Kipkoech, who scored an A (81 points) in KCSE.

A day after KCSE results were announced, some candidates are yet to receive their results. In Migori County, anxiety and helplessness reigned after it emerged that students from Nyabisawa Girls, a top performing school in Suna, Agenga Secondary in Nyatike and Kamotobo Secondary in Kuria had their results withheld over alleged malpractice.

Kamotobo was reportedly under the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec)’s radar over cheating. Knec and county officials visited the schools multiple times during the November exams.
