The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) will print national examinations locally, ending a decades-long practice of outsourcing to Britain. The move is supported by a Sh147 million allocation in the proposed 2026/27 budget.

• The KNEC aims to procure a digital machine for printing examinations locally.
• Basic Education Principal Secretary Prof Julius Bitok announced the budget allocation.
• This decision addresses concerns about high costs and logistical challenges associated with international outsourcing, as previously questioned by Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi.
