Why Always Migori? CS Amina’s Shocker Lands on Migori Schools

2018 has seen Governor Obado’s Migori County make headlines for all the wrong reasons. From the County Chief facing murder charges to the now famous Jakadala invasion, the County is once again in the headlines for the wrong reasons and this time it is because of irregularities in the just released KCSE results.

Three schools in the County have not received their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exam results.

Komotobo Secondary School in Kuria East, Nyabisawa Girls’ Secondary in Suna West and Agenda Secondary School in Nyatike missed their results.

The three centres are among schools whose results were withheld by the Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) over suspected cheating.

While releasing results on Friday, Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed said results for some schools had been withheld over alleged irregularities.

The CS, however, did mention the schools or regions affected.

At Komotobo secondary, gloom and anxiety gripped candidates, teachers and parents when it emerged that their results have been withheld.

The centre is one of the schools that have reportedly been on Knec’s radar over claims of cheating.

During the tests in November, several Knec and county education officials visited the school often in a bid to monitor it closely.

Immediately the results were released, some of the parents and teachers who sent messages to the Knec short code were shocked to be informed that there are no results.

“I kept sending messages to Knec to confirm some of the results only to learn later that they have been withheld. We only hope for the best but the anxiety among the school fraternity is huge,” said one of the teachers.
