KNEC Debunks System Glitch Claims, Warns of Examiner Job Scam.

The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has issued a warning regarding a deceptive social media post designed to exploit teachers seeking examiner positions. The misleading message encouraged applicants who had paid but not received official communication to still proceed to training venues with digital receipts as proof of payment.

According to KNEC, the viral post circulated on Saturday, April 12, misled job seekers by implying that the system was experiencing glitches. The message falsely claimed that trainers were aware of these issues and that attendance would still be accepted with proof of payment.

KNEC countered this narrative by labelling the post as fake and reiterated that only those with formal invitations are eligible to participate in the national examination marking exercise.

While acknowledging occasional system downtimes due to ongoing digitisation efforts, KNEC stressed that these issues have been exploited by scammers. These individuals prey on hopeful applicants who have not received communication, using the system delays as an excuse to convince them to travel or part with money unnecessarily.

Such activities are not only fraudulent but also dangerous to unsuspecting candidates who are misled into believing the legitimacy of these communications.

KNEC highlighted the competitive nature of becoming an examiner, noting that thousands of teachers registered with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) apply each year. Despite the high interest, only those who meet the set qualifications are considered.

The council emphasised that the recruitment process is rigorous and transparent, and any communications regarding examiner roles come strictly through official channels.

This is not the first time scammers have misused KNEC’s name. In February 2025, the council flagged another fraudulent social media post where scammers were asking for payments to alter Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results. The post, which targeted parents and other concerned parties, falsely claimed to offer services for grade upgrades and certificate processing.

In response, KNEC urged the public to remain vigilant and always verify information through the council’s official communication platforms. The council continues to caution teachers and the general public against relying on unverified messages, especially those requesting money or promising services outside the council’s official procedures.
