The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has released fresh instructions for the ongoing 2026 KCSE examinations which are in their third week. Chief Executive Officer David Njengere reminded examination centre managers and field officers about the need to open containers at 7am and switch off all mobile phones within examination centres.
Centre managers are also required to maintain an approved list of authorised personnel, who must present their national identity cards for identification. Candidates are prohibited from wearing wristwatches in examination rooms, and centre managers must provide wall clocks in every room. These measures aim to ensure the integrity of the examination process and prevent examination malpractice.
The government has also warned against anyone offering to obtain examination papers, emphasizing that those involved will be held accountable. As the examinations continue, security agencies are on high alert to protect the process. Theory papers are scheduled to begin on Monday, November 2, 2026.
