‘KCSE Exams Still On!’ – CS Ogamba Announces Despite Public Holiday Declaration

Despite the fact that Friday has been declared a public holiday, the Ministry of Education has announced that the ongoing Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams will proceed as scheduled.

In a notice issued on Thursday, Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos stated that the late declaration of Friday as a national holiday to commemorate Prof. Kithure Kindiki’s swearing-in as Deputy President would not interfere with Form Four candidates’ KCSE exam schedules.

CS Ogamba directed all stakeholders involved in the KCSE examinations to carry out their duties as usual to ensure a smooth process.

Acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi declared Friday, November 1, 20024, a public holiday to prepare for the swearing-in of Deputy President-designate Prof. Kindiki.

Following Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment, the High Court overturned a previous order prohibiting Kindiki from taking the oath of office.
