Leaders from Kisii County have agreed to have a meeting with the Education Cabinet Secretary Professor Jacob Kaimenyi and the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) on why the results of Nyabururu Girls National School are withheld and those of other schools in the county of Kisii.
Speaking after they held a meeting in Nairobi led by the Kisii County Governor James Ongwae and Kisii Senator Christopher Obure said that they would visit the Ministry of Education and speak to the Education Minister.
Ongwae also said that he would wish that a tribunal be made to investigate the operations of the Kenya National Examination Council and listen to complaints from students over the national examinations.
“We want a tribunal formed to handle complains on KNEC because it caused the problem. We cannot have one student from one exam room not having results and the answer we are given is that there was collusion,” said Ongwae.
The proposal was seconded by Senator Chris Obure noting that it is a matter of great concern because the hopes of these students are shattered after studying hard for four years and said that this is something that should not happen.
Other leaders present at the meeting were Elijah Moindi, Richard Tong’I, Mary Otara, Stephen Manoti, Joel Onyancha, Manson Nyamweya and Zebedeo Opore.
