The recently concluded Miss Kenya 2015 left some of its contestants and those who attended the event wondering what happened to the judges' decisions. At some point as the MC, Derek Bbanga, waited for the final tally from the bench of judges, Franchise Director John Nyamu was seen checking and counter checking with the judges and finally he sat with the chief judge, Cheptoek Boyo, to tally the girls' marks, a task that is entirely meant to be the judges' job.
Some of the pageant contestants left dissatisfied while the crowned winners went home smiling. This is the beauty pageant with the highest number of title holders. The first to be crowned was Miss International, Eunice Atieno, first runner up was Wendy Mueni and second runner up Edith Babu.
The second title was Miss Grand International Elaine Mwangi, first runner up Joan Ahono and second runner up Amal Abdul. The third title was Miss Earth, Linda Gatere, first runner up Nancy Njoki while second runner up Diana Bware.
