The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has issued an alert regarding the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results.
In a notice on January 2, 2026, KNEC warned candidates and parents against scammers.
KNEC said the scammers claim to have the capability to boost KCSE results for all the subjects.
“Beware of scammers !” KNEC said.
One of the photos shared on the KNEC X page shows a message sent to a WhatsApp group saying that “KCSE grade fixing is ongoing”.
The sender by the name Phyllgona Agencies claimed that people can also boost individual subjects.
“KCSE Grade fixing is ongoing. Remember, you can also boost the subjects you need,” Phyllgona Agencies wrote.
