No More Certificate Withholding By School Heads as CS Ogamba Announces Where KCSE Candidates Will Pick Their Certicates Starting 2026

“Instead of this protracted tussle between the students and principals, why can’t Kenya National Examination Council send the result slips directly to the students, just like E-Citizen and birth certificate where you don’t have to go to a place where you were born to get a birth certificate?” Oundo asked CS Ogamba.

“We have thought about sending the next results to our sub-county offices with copies of register to the schools, to confirm the certificates have been picked by the students. That way, there will be no challenge or a situation where the students are suffering or being told to pay many things before receiving the certificate,” CS Ogamba said in response.

At the same appearance, CS Ogamba added that that the current delays in the release of school capitation funds have been occasioned by an ongoing audit that uncovered serious irregularities, including the disbursement of funds to non-existent schools.

He noted that as of October 7, 2025, his ministry had verified and released capitation to 752 primary, junior, senior, and special needs education institutions across the country, catering to 9,430,139 learners.
