This is despite KNEC having ranked Chebuyusi as the top school in Kakamega county and position 16 nationally, with a mean score of 8.911. The school recorded a 100 per cent transition to university with all students getting C+ and above. The exams body canceled the results a month later following the release of the exams on December 20 last year citing collusion in the Biology and Chemistry papers. Agitated parents of the 190 students sued the examination council and High Court Judge George Odunga quashed the decision by KNEC to annul the results on grounds that the move was in consistence with the law. Justice Odunga ordered for the release of the results but KNEC appealed against that verdict but didn’t bring evidence to court after 14 days forcing parents to go back to the corridors of justice seeking redress. Mr Okoth said following the elapse of 14 days, the parents went to court after KNEC failed to release the results, saying High Court Judge John Motivo is expected to deliver his verdict on the same in September 24, this year. “The ruling was pushed to September since all judges are on recess for two months. I was directed by Education Principal Secretary, Dr Belio Kipsang to register again the affected pupils and after doing so, they declined to come back to class until the matter is solved,” he said.

Adding “I am leaving the school in good hands and I am sure our resolve to post good results this year still remains. We have done our best in preparing the candidates.” Acting principal, Mr Andrew Wanjala noted that it will be a challenge to communicate to students and parents about the changes. He said he will ensure no programs at the school are interrupted urging students and other stakeholders to be calm. “It will not be easy to communicate this to our students that are why I am consulting other stakeholders on how to handle it. We will be forced to have counseling sessions with the students,” said Wanjala. Mr Wanjala said when the students got wind that there principal had been interdicted; they were resistance about the idea and almost went on rampage. “Outside forces are fighting the principal and the school at large. We want him vindicated of any wrong doing as fast as possible so that he can come and continue discharging his duties as principal,” said the Acting Principal.
