The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has refuted claims circulating on social media that some secondary schools bought KCSE examination results, labeling such posts as misinformation designed to undermine its credibility.

• KNEC issued a statement on Wednesday, January 21, warning against fake news regarding the 2025 KCSE examinations.
• The claims stemmed from a widely shared Facebook post suggesting malpractice after a candidate reportedly with poor English skills attained an A- grade.
• This clarification follows widespread concerns and demands for a review of the KCSE results due to mass student failures.
• Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has challenged KNEC over alleged bias in grading, specifically citing the inconsistent exclusion of Kenya Sign Language (KSL) from final grade computations for some impaired students.
• Senator Omtatah issued a seven-day ultimatum to KNEC on January 13, demanding an immediate review of the results, citing "fundamental injustice."
