1.7 Candidates who have their results withheld will receive a letter through their head teacher
explaining why the results have been withheld until they submit the required documents e.g.
previous KCPE examination details for their results to be released.

Such candidates must submit the documents through their respective schools and NOT directly to the Council, by 31st March 2012 failure to which it will be deemed that the candidates do not have the required document(s) and their results will subsequently be cancelled.

1.8 Candidates who were involved in any form of examination irregularity have had their results
cancelled and they have been advised so in writing through their respective school principals
before release of the results.

Please note that the Council will post all cases of cancelled results on the KNEC website upon release of the results and the affected candidates are advised to check.

1.9 It has been noted that in the past principals have not informed parents and candidates whose results have been cancelled and this has caused them to travel all the way to the Council for information.

1.10 The Council will issue result slips for the KCSE candidates. All candidates must note that a result slip is not a certificate. The Kenya National Examinations Council reserves the right to correct the information given on result slips which will be confirmed by the issue of certificates.
