But this year, there is a notable twist, the official release of KCSE examination isn't happening in the capital. Instead, all eyes are on Eldoret.
If you’ve been following the news, the change of scenery makes perfect sense.
If you’ve been following the news, the change of scenery makes perfect sense. President William Ruto is currently on a development tour in the North Rift region, operating out of the Eldoret State Lodge.
In keeping with tradition, the Cabinet Secretary for Education, along with Principal Secretaries and top KNEC officials, must brief the President on the national performance before the results are made public.
Rather than flying the President back to Nairobi for a morning ceremony, the Ministry of Education is bringing the ceremony to him.
This allows the CS to deliver the brief at the State Lodge and proceed with the official announcement without disrupting the President’s busy regional schedule.
The timing coincides with other major activities in Uasin Gishu.
Just today, the President was seen launching the Nyota Business Capital disbursement, a move aimed at boosting small-scale entrepreneurs.
By releasing the exam results in the same town, the government is effectively centering Eldoret as the nation’s temporary administrative hub.
Beyond the logistics and politics, the atmosphere among parents and students is a mix of high-voltage anxiety and hope.
Moving the venue hasn't changed the stakes. Whether the results are announced in Nairobi or Eldoret, the dream remains the same, securing a pathway to higher education.
As we gear up for tomorrow morning, the shift to Eldoret serves as a reminder of how governance is becoming more decentralized.
For the class of 2025, the "City of Champions" might just be the place where their winning streaks begin.
