They stated,”Science is a multiple-choice question paper, thus making it possible for the candidates to get identical marks,”
“Though this may be assumed to be an examination irregularity, it is not adequate evidence for KNEC to sanction the results for candidates without a supporting report that cheating happened during the administration of the examination.”
