A Nation Media Group journalist based in West Pokot County has reportedly been threatened by an official from the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) over his reporting on a national school's results. The reporter had penned an article carried by Nation on Monday, April 25 stating that Chewoyet National School had recorded 62 Ds in the just-announced Kenya Certificate for Secondary Examination (KCSE). The reporter had alleged that the school recorded a drop in its mean score after three students missed their results. The school's stamped results slip indicated that it had a mean-score of 7.007 for results of 416 candidates. Schools reopened under tight timelines with most students sitting the national exams within a short period of time.
