Speaking on the sidelines of the 5th Graduation of Kabete National Institute on Wednesday, December 11, Ogamba said the Kenya Examinations Council (KNEC) examiners were completing the rectification exercise.
“We should be ready to release the results in January. Right now we are going through the rectification process; it is still ongoing. As soon as they are ready, we will release them. I cannot say the exact date because the process is ongoing,” said Ogamba.

Why was the Nyamira man arrested and DCI?
Stephen Nyang'au Mbeche, a native of Nyamira county, was accused of creating a Telegram group called “KCSE 2024 Leakage Group,” where he distributed exam papers while abusing candidates and parents.
Images shared by the DCI showed the Telegram group had 802 members, from whom the suspect demanded an advance payment to distribute the papers.
A thorough search of his residence led to the seizure of a mobile phone and a laptop, the tools he used for his illegal activities.
In some areas, teachers were implicated in cases of helping distribute the papers.
During the exams, there was a mixture of sadness and happiness.
In some centers, the candidates gave birth before continuing with the exams, and in other cases, the candidates died due to different circumstances.
