The credibility of Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results has been put to question by some stakeholders in the education sector.
Some leaders, educationists and ordinary Kenyans came out guns blazing to condemn the Education Cabinet Secretary for the results which, in their view, were not fairly earned. This became even worse when fake news started circulating on social media. In one such fake news, it was alleged that out of the 1,146 As, 900 were from Kisii.
This screaming message was shared, tweeted and retweeted by many people including prominent political leaders. However, immediately after the CS clarified that Kisii and Nyamira counties accounted for only 81As, the fake news disappeared from all social media platforms.
