KNEC Pressured to Recall 2025 KCSE Results for Select Students

The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) is facing scrutiny and has been slapped with a demand letter following claims of grading irregularities in the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results.
In his letter, Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has detailed the basis of his argument, giving the council an ultimatum.
This controversy concerns the computation of Kenya Sign Language’s (KSL) final grades for different groups of candidates.
Okiya Omtatah formally petitioned KNEC, alleging that KSL scores were excluded for hearing candidates, while the subject was treated as a compulsory language for hearing-impaired students.
“KSL was inconsistently excluded from final grade computation for some candidates after the exam, without notice, consultation, or legal basis. This violates fairness, legitimate expectation, and inclusive education principles,” Okiya Omtatah noted.
