The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has exposed a scam where Kenyans are being asked to pay to upgrade Kenya Certificate of Secondary School Education (KCSE) results.

In a post on Tuesday, February 4, KNEC flagged a social media post asking parents and other interested parties to apply for grade upgrades and processing of KCSE certificates.

While conducting a reverse search for the original post, Kenyans.co.ke found that the fraudsters are asking Kenyans who sat for their KCSE between 2000 and 2024 and would like to change their grades to apply.

Our search revealed that the post originates from Facebook, under an account that has a KNEC logo as its profile image.
