Advocate Danstan Omari has submitted an application for an injunction to halt the Form One selection procedure on behalf of the students and parents of Kitengela International School.

The parents are petitioning the court to block the placement pending an appeal against the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results released last week.

The Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) was contacted on Friday by the headteacher of Kitengela International School, who requested a review of the KCPE results, claiming that they “do not reflect the true academic abilities” of the students.

The principal asked the council to carefully examine, confirm, and assess “all candidates’ answer scripts and award them the highest score,” since none of the 186 candidates from the school received 400 marks, and the top candidate received 358.

“Some of our candidates have enrolled in other different schools because of the disappointment of the 2022 KCPE results and are getting their rightful marks which are higher than all their counterparts who used to perform better than them,” he wrote.

Concerns have been expressed by a number of parliamentarians regarding the anomalies in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) 2023 results.

The MPs, led by Marakwet West lawmaker Timothy Kipchumba Toroitich and Tinderet MP Julius Melly, have disclosed that they want to call Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu to account for the ineptitude in parliament.

“The exam was not fair and credible. How is it possible for students in the same school to score same marks, some got marks for papers they did not take. We, the committee for education will conduct investigations. Those found culpable of mismanaging KCPE must go home,” Toroitich said on Sunday during the Holy Family Kapsowar Catholic Church’s fundraiser.

Melly, the chairperson of the National Assembly Education Committee argued that the results released by KNEC could not be credible.

“When you see students scoring the same marks, there is a problem. And it has to be either the person who marked the papers, or the exam supervision exercise,”Melly said.

On his part, Kesses Member of Parliament Julius Ruto has said that the incident has broken the hearts of many students who were hoping to excel in the exam.

“What was the essence of Machogu fastening the marking process? We are shuttering hopes of young students. Machogu has to be serious,” Ruto said.

The leaders have called for the remarking of the exams.
