Each candidate for KCPE requires Sh800 while KCSE examinations cost Sh5,400.
The Grade Six assessment will take Sh1 billion, KCPE Sh942 million and KCSE Sh3.082 billion.
The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) yesterday issued a two-week ultimatum to the Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) to pay examiners who marked the 2022 examinations, failure to which they will mobilise members to occupy Mitihani House.
The union complained that, since the teachers completed the marking of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in January, more than 40,000 examiners have not been paid their wages. Delays in the payment of the allowances have become a perennial problem for Knec.
