The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has questioned the jurisdiction of the High Court in a case challenging the introduction of mid-year Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations.
KNEC, through lawyer Geoffrey Obura, has filed a preliminary objection in a suit brought by Nakuru-based doctor Magare Gikenyi.
Appearing before Kisii High Court Judge Teresa Odera, Obura said KNEC has also filed an application seeking to overturn an earlier court order halting the implementation of the mid-year examinations. "It is true we have filed a notice of preliminary objection, raising protest as to the jurisdiction of the Court.
We have also filed a replying affidavit to the petition and an application for vacation of conservatory orders," said Obura.
