Makau Mutua now wants the gov’t to nullify 2022 KCSE results: “There was widespread cheating”

Renowned scholar and distinguished lawyer, Prof Makau Mutua has called on the government to nullify the 2022 KCSE results over what he termed as ‘widespread cheating’.

According to the controversial scholar, the whole exercise was a stinking mess.

“It appears there was WIDESPREAD CHEATING in this year’s KCSE. Does the state have the courage to CANCEL the whole stinking mess and order a re-do, or does it let the lie stand and ratify our status as a truly CHEATING nation?” he tweeted.

Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu, however, said the 2022 KCSE administration and marking process was clean.

“We did come up with a mechanism that accountability was transferred to the personal level,” Machogu said.

The CS said the ministry devised various mechanisms to curb cheating.

“We said the centre manager will be personally accountable for any irregularities. We designed a form for security personnel to sign how things went,”he said.
