[kictanet] KCSE

[Dorcas Muthoni]

Well,

Whatever might have gone wrong should to be corrected:

   1. Students must receive the correct marks, the KCSE results are
   really key to anyones career and it's is very important that candidates feel
   they are holding the result which they indeed achieved.
   2. To ensure that whatever error in data mining or otherwise is
   corrected, this can only be guaranteed through a code audit. That
   application can be vetted and there really software houses that can do this.
   I hope Bwana PS will assist in ensuring ICT is seen as a positive
   contributor. This is now turning out to be a software issue and its
   important that we take note of the questions that may arise with regard to
   locally produced software.
