“We want to state clearly that anybody hoping to do anything against the law or set guidelines will fail. Candidates should just prepare and we guarantee them the best administered examinations,” said Magoha. A total of 1.7 million learners are expected to sit this year’s primary and secondary school tests. Of these, 1,060,703 will sit their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) tests and 664,585 will write their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) papers. Amina said the Government has set aside Sh4.2 billion to run the national examinations. The CS noted that the ministry had mapped out 22 alternative centres where candidates hit by conflict could sit the exams in Nakuru County. She said some 25 centres have been identified where exam candidates could be accommodated if there was another flare-up of conflict. “There are ongoing consultations with the Ministry of Interior to enhance security to ensure that normalcy returns to the affected areas,” said Amina. The KCPE exams will be done in 27,161 centres while 10,077 centres will host KCSE candidates. Mrs Karogo said 65,107 invigilators and 27,354 supervisors would be deployed to administer the KCPE exams.
