A total of 10,534 candidates have registered for the 2026 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations in Wajir County, with education officials assuring learners and parents of a smooth exercise.
The candidates comprise 9,285 from public schools and 1,249 from private institutions, according to education officials in the county.
Wajir County Director of Education Abdiow A. Mohamed called on candidates to observe examination regulations, maintain discipline and steer clear of activities that could compromise the credibility of the national examinations.
Mohamed said the exercise had commenced successfully, with the necessary logistical arrangements put in place to ensure examination materials reach all centres on time.
He disclosed that the government had established contingency measures, including the deployment of helicopters, to facilitate the transportation of examination papers in areas that could be affected by heavy rainfall and other adverse weather conditions.
The measures are intended to prevent weather-related disruptions, particularly in remote areas where difficult terrain could interfere with the distribution of examination materials.

Wajir East Sub-County Director of Education Abdullahi Madey said all examination papers had been delivered to schools within the stipulated timelines, expressing confidence in the preparedness of examination centres.
Madey also expressed optimism that the county would maintain its performance from last year's examinations, urging candidates to remain focused as they tackle their papers.
He appealed to parents and teachers to work closely with education authorities in creating a conducive environment for candidates throughout the examination period.
The officials warned that examination malpractice would not be tolerated, urging all stakeholders to protect the integrity of the national examinations.
