KNEC Dismisses Claims of Payment Delays for KCSE Invigilators Over Data Loss
The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has dismissed reports purporting that the examination council has lost details of the teachers who invigilated the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams.
In a brief statement on Saturday, February 1, the examination council flagged a viral social media post alleging that KNEC was yet to pay teachers because of the missing data. KNEC flagged the post as fake and misleading.
The flagged post alleged that teachers who participated in invigilating the national examinations will not be getting their pay anytime soon as KNEC struggled to retrieve the missing details.
According to the fake post, KNEC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David Njengere confirmed the delays and urged the invigilators to exercise patience.
“We don’t have sufficient details of the teachers who invigilated the national exams—KNEC—to explain why it has not paid the frustrated tutors,” alleged the flagged post.
The fraudulent social media post further claimed that KNEC was also yet to receive a duly signed and stamped attendance register for the 2024 Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) examinations.
