The High Court in Kisii has suspended the registration of candidates for the newly introduced mid-year KCSE exams following a petition by Dr Magare Gikenyi.
In a suit filed at the High Court in Kisii County, Dr Magare Gikenyi claimed that there was no evidence that public participation was undertaken. "Other parts of the guidelines were made without any stakeholders consultation and or without public participation," stated Gikenyi in his petition.
He had sued Kenya National Examinations Council, its CEO Dr David Njengere, CS Ministry of Education Julius Ogamba, and the Attorney General over the proposal.
The Kenya Secondary School Heads Association, Kenya Private School Association, and the Kenya Parents Association are listed as interested parties.
