The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has come under criticism following allegations that it stopped several teachers from marking the 2024 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examinations (KCSE).
Addressing the Standing Committee on Education on Thursday, February 20, Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka demanded to know the circumstances under which 32 teachers from Poroko Friends School in Narok County were barred from marking the national examinations.
According to Onyonka, despite having the requisite qualifications, the examination council declined to offer the teachers a chance to participate in the marking process.
The legislator, while questioning the incident, faulted the Ministry of Education over what he termed as the victimisation of the said teachers and demanded to know whether the alleged decision to bar the teachers from the crucial process was subject to revision.
