KNEC Breaks Silence on a KCSE Candidate Scoring A in One Subject, 7 Es in Others

Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has clarified a screenshot that a KCSE candidate scored an A in One Subject and scored an E in seven other subjects.

This comes after the screenshot went viral on social media indicating that a candidate identified as Kigen Brian had posted the results.

But in reaction to the screenshot, KNEC moved swiftly and clarified that the results are non existent.

"We wish to inform the public to ignore this fake result being circulated through social media. No such index number exists in any of our schools," KNEC tweeted.
