Parents storm KNEC offices over errors in 2023 KCPE results

Parents of KCPE candidates from the Kitengela International School on Sunday protested at the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) offices demanding anomalies in the recently released results rectified.

They said the results did not reflect the abilities o of their children saying they had consistently performed well.

“We truly believe that those do not reflect the abilities of our kids, we are 100 per cent sure those are not our results. It can’t be that a school that has been number 1 in the country for the last three years all of a sudden in two years' time we don’t have top performers,” Samuel Nderitu, a parent, said.

“To me as a parent representing the parents, I believe that this is a sincere injustice to the children of Kitengela International as indicated here and also to the children of other schools in this nation,” Claudia Okumu added.

Parents want the anomalies addressed so that they are not disadvantaged in the selection process that kicks off on Monday.

KNEC officials who held a meeting on Sunday have asked parents to file official complaints in the time allowed.
