The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) want the 2017 Kenya Certificate of Secondary of Education (KCSE) examination results released on Wednesday cancelled.

KNUT said the results are not credible.

In a statement issued on Thursday, KNUT Secretary General Wilson Sossion told the Kenya National Examinations Council to cancel the results.

“The results are not credible at all, they are irregular and most disastrous exam in the Kenya history, and do not meet the international standards of measurements and evaluation. The results have destroyed the future of many children and hopes of many families and they are bound to destroy our public universities,” reads the statement in part.

He added: “It is shameful as a nation that we are unable to supply the required 95,000 students as per existing vacancies in our universities, we can only supply 70,000. What happens with the remaining 25,000 available spaces, are all over 600,000 candidates total zombies?”

Sossion accused Education CS Fred Matiang'i of being in a hurry to realease the exam results.

“In order to correctly assign correct grades to the raw marks by the Chief Examiner and Team Leaders, due process has to be followed to the latter which include moderation. Matiang’i cannot hurry the release of results without a proper audit and celebrate mass failure of students,” said Sossion.
