The Kenya National Examinations Council has cleared outstanding marking allowances owed to examiners who handled the 2025 Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE).
The payment follows months of delays that sparked walkouts, boycott threats and claims that the examinations body faced a funding crisis.
In a statement on Thursday, July 9, Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba said the National Treasury released Sh1.5 billion on July 7, allowing KNEC to settle the balance owed to examiners and other contracted professionals.
