Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has addressed concerns regarding delayed payments for professionals who administered and marked the 2025 national examinations and assessments. The Ministry attributes the delay to budgetary and cash flow constraints, impacting supervisors, invigilators, security personnel, and examiners.

• Discussions with the National Treasury are ongoing to expedite the release of funds.
• The affected professionals rendered services for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA), and Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) exams.
• Concerns also include unsettled arrears from previous years and inadequate payment rates compared to workload.
