CS Ogamba is scheduled to preside over the release of the KCSE results at AIC Chebisaas High School in Uasin Gishu.
The Ministry of Education conducted the 2025 KCSE exams from October 21, 2025, to November 21, 2025, across various centres in the country.
Following the conclusion of the exams, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) deployed examiners to mark the exams.
During the marking of the exams, a section of examiners staged protests at Mary Hill Girls High School over failure by KNEC to pay their coordination allowances.
The council later clarified that all KCSE examiners who had completed the marking exercise and exited the centres had been fully paid their dues.
“Our attention has been drawn to reports that some 2025 KCSE examiners have left the marking centres without being paid their coordination fees. We wish to clarify as follows:
“All examiners who have completed the marking exercise and left the marking centres have been fully paid their coordination dues,” read the KNEC statement in part.
