Lawyer Steve Mogaka is set to go to court to contest the step taken by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) to withhold and cancel the results of students who sat the 2014 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in Kisii.
Mogaka said that he wanted all the parents in Kisii County to be given genuine reasons as to why the examination results of their children were cancelled.
This comes after K.C.S.E results for Kisii High School and Nyakoiba Secondary School were cancelled, and after those for Nyabururu Girls School were withheld by the examination council.
The Abagusii Cultural Development Council (ACDC) elders led by their Chairman James Matundura went to the county director of education’s office to seek an explanation as to why the results of a section of schools from the county were cancelled.
The elders later went to the Kisii governor’s office to voice their concerns. They said that the step to cancel results tainted the name of Kisii county and that they would ensure that there the truth in the matter would become apparent.
Speaking to the elders, Kisii county deputy governor Joash Maangi said that more than the 500 students who sat the examination might miss their results, which would mean miss joining results.
Maangi also said that they were waiting for answers from KNEC after they wrote a letter asking for an explanation as to why the results were cancelled.
