Centre managers according to Knec are paid kshs 500 as subsistence allowance. High school Principals also earned a daily allowance of Sh500 for 18 days.

The highest paid Supervisor will walk away with a sum total of Sh12,510 while the highest paid invigilator got Sh9860.

However Knec will not pay Deputy school heads despite the fact that they were present during the examination period as assistant Centre Managers.

Also walking home empty handed are teachers handling science subjects who prepared and administered practicals during the KCSE examinations.

The government mobilised 180,000 teachers to man last year’s national examinations. A total of 286,000 professionals were contracted by the Council to administer the 2020 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams.
