[kictanet] KNEC giving candidates, parents a raw deal

[Zachary Ochieng]

Despite the digitisation of  exam results by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and the Ministry of Education, the platform doesn't seem to be working. My daughter is one of the candidates who sat KCPE in November 2009. But more than two hours after the release of the results by Education minister Sam Ongeri, the KNEC website from where the candidates are supposed to check their results remains down. Worse still, the 2228 no. to which candidates should text their index numbers to get results is also not working but continues to consume airtime to the tune of Ksh 20 per SMS. If this is not a rip off, then I don't know the definition, coming as it does at a time when the ministry is reeling from a theft scandal.
 
One wonders what else the ministry could be hiding. While announcing the top candidates, Ongeri never mentioned the names of their schools. But it is anyone's guess that majority of them are from private schools. Rather than bash the media as he did during the release of the results, Ongeri should tell us what is bedevilling FPE.
 
Can someone please help? MY daughter has refused to take lunch until she gets her results.
