Senator Okiya Omtatah is protesting the exclusion of Kenya Sign Language (KSL) from the final KCSE aggregate scores for non-hearing-impaired candidates, terming the move discriminatory and unlawful. He has demanded that the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) recall and re-compute the results or face legal action.

• Omtatah sent a formal protest letter to KNEC, calling the grading approach unfair for hearing candidates who took KSL.
• The dispute centers on KSL being computed as a compulsory language for hearing-impaired learners but allegedly excluded from the final aggregate for hearing candidates.
• Omtatah demands that KNEC, within seven days, provide data on affected candidates, re-compute results, issue a policy clarification for future exams, and suspend 2026 KCSE registration.
