A total of 699,745 candidates sat this year’s KCSE exam.

Speaking during the event, Prof Magoha said there was a general improvement in the performance of this year's candidates as compared to last year.

However, it has emerged that top five pupils of the 2015 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), who actually sat their KCSE exams this year did not manage to appear on the top list of top performers.

Here are top 5 KCPE performers in 2015, as reported by Citizen Digital, who are expected to have sat for their KCSE exams this year

1. Aggrey Akhanyinya, St Joseph Academy, Kakamega – 449 

2. Macharia Wilson Muragu, Ruaraka Academy, Nairobi – 446 

3. Felistas Onduso, Gilgil Hills Academy, Nakuru  – 445 

4. Evans Musyoki Sila, Premese Academy, Machakos- 443 

5. Keith Ang’ana, New Light School, Nairobi – 441

From top 10 KCSE 2019 candidates, there is no single name from top KCPE 2015 candidates, an indication there was much competition since the pupils joined high school.

Top 5 KCSE 2019 candidates are:

1. Buluma Tony with a performance index of 87.159 from Kapsabet Boys’ High School
