Education Permanent Secretary Belio Kipsang has confirmed that the national examinations will be marked in Nairobi unlike previous years.
Speaking at Nakuru Girls High School, Kipsang stated that the centralization of marking was meant to curb incidents of malpractices.
“Frankly, when you see ministry officials at the containers (where exam papers are stored) at 5am in the morning, don’t imagine that we are going to drop the ball at marking. This year marking of KCSE examinations will be centralized in Nairobi County to ensure it is credible and effective,” said Dr Kipsang.
During the previous years, exams were marked in Kiambu and Murang'a counties.
