NEGLECTED JUSTICE FOR POOR KENYAN CHILDREN IN NATIONAL EXAMS.

There is more than enough evidence that any Kenyan would need to justify the truth that the ongoing KCSE exams has been massively rigged. In previous years, The reports from media houses used to come out later after the media had proven with exam papers if theirs were real or not. This used to create a gap where we could give the media a benefit of doubt on whether they were just playing a PR strategy or truly had the papers before the exam was done.

This year things have been different and the media houses have constantly brought out copies of exam before the papers are sat and informed Kenyans that they have exams. These copies have then been compared with real exam papers ascertaining that they are truly duplicates of the exam. From investigative series from different media houses, these papers are sold to students/parents who can part away with between ksh. 1500-3500 per paper. Calculating on a standard requirement of 21 papers for KCSE this translates to around Ksh. 20000 for the whole exam.

It is apparent that for these exam papers to get to the merchants and pass on to the students they originate from the close KNEC officials, employees and exam supervisors who either dilly dally on their duties or simply neglect their code of conduct.

Given that it is the very exam that will be used for university admission and shaping people's future, there is a group of students whose justice is not being done to them. This is the group of people who cannot afford to pay for the "Stolen exams."

A young boy in Mathayos in western Kenya, or in Mwashuma village in Taita goes for his morning exam possibly without a breakfast. This is a person who cannot access wats app and consequently relies on his handwork and intensive studying to pass the exam.

A son of a middle class parent in Muthaiga Nairobi or Action estate in Eldoret can confidently access his private WATS app and get these papers. Come February/March, these two people will be subjected to same admission criteria to university education. This is Injustice. Simply neglected service of justice.

With sobriety we request the government to own up this mess, motivate the teachers and recruit people with integrity to take care of the exams before we mold a society without moral. It is injustice for few students to access exams before exams and relax while others strive to work hard to pass the same exam.

This is our call for Justice.
