Nairobi: The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) maintained that the 5,101 students whose results have been cancelled are innocent and should not be victimised.

The unions instead want Education Minister Fred Matiang'i and Knec officials to be accountable and expose those who leaked the exams.
