Kenyans share experiences on picking KCSE certificates
Here are some of the comments:
@Phines said:
“I did this in 2017, when I was going to pick up my 2013 certificate. But it was a car hire. I hope to get my own car someday.”
@CJ
“This reminds me of how I was the first to go to school, hoping to get my KCSE certificate. I was told the certificates were not out yet, and I was given my result slip.”
@Edwin Pablo:
“When I went for my certificate, my teachers were in disbelief, especially those who said I would not succeed in life. It is interesting that now we are both teachers employed by the same commission.”
@dayana:
“Which year did you complete your KCSE? I will not go for mine yet. That school traumatised me for real, and I have a fee balance.”
