We have cases where you simply see a “Y” or an “X” in your certificate and yet no reason is given. That is unfair. So, we need KNEC to be giving reasons for cancelling particular results. I wish you could also capture the issue of compensating teachers and security personnel who are involved in the exams. Last year, there was a lot of work in the administration of exams. Teachers and security officers were forced to wake up at around 4.00 a.m. to go and collect exam papers. They were expected to deliver those exam papers to schools by between 6.00 a.m. and 7.00 a.m. These people were forced to use their own means and subsidised the Government of Kenya in administering examinations. The principals were forced to use their own cars and motorcycles to get to the collection points on time and they have not been compensated. In future, I think we need to factor in such costs."
