The announcement that the results were ready to be released was made by President Uhuru Kenyatta on Sunday. The President hinted that the results might be out today having announced that the marking of the exams had been completed and the results were ready for release.
At the same time the President said that this year’s KCPE was free of cheating and other malpractices.
“There was very little cheating or abuse during this year’s exam and I thank the parents, teachers and candidates. We want to congratulate all those who contributed into making the exams a success,” said the President.
President Kenyatta spoke at Gachororo village in Juja Constituency where he attended Sunday Service and presided over a fundraising for a new PCEA church.
The President reiterated his recent promise that no candidate who sat for KCPE will miss admission to secondary school. He urged parents of KCPE candidates to ensure that their children transit to secondary schools because their positions are already guaranteed and the government will meet the cost of their education.
The President also reiterated his recent remarks that the church should play a bigger role in strengthening the morality of the nation. He said Kenya has always been known to be a nation of great faith but of late it appears to be losing grip of its moral character.
“We must restore the moral fibre of our nation through better partnership between the State and the Church,” said the President.
Do you think there will be an improvement in this Years results compared to last year?
