The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has dismissed claims that the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results would be released before Christmas.
In a statement, the exam body flagged an online publication that claimed KCSE results would be announced between December 16 and December 22.
KNEC maintained that the results will be released once the marking is concluded and everything else related is ready.
“KNEC has made no such statement. Marking of KCSE is ongoing, and the results will be released when they are ready,” KNEC stated.
