On Wednesday, Education Cabinet Secretary Professor George Magoha is expected to release this year's Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results at the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) headquarters, three days earlier than the 2018 exam.
The decision to release the results early was made after members of the KNEC board held a meeting on Monday to approve the results ahead of presenting them to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
A total of 699,745 students sat for this year's examinations, which were marked in 20 centres around Nairobi from November 28 to December 12.
However, the marking process was temporarily halted in some centres in Nairobi and Machakos due to poor living conditions and demands for an increase in per-script payment by teachers.
According to the government, cases of cheating this year are expected to reduce after sealing all the loopholes.
