NAIROBI, Kenya Feb 13 \u2013 Thousands of teachers, examiners, and other professionals involved in the 2025 national examinations may soon get paid, after the government admitted delays and promised that payments remain a top priority.<\/p>\n
In a statement dated February 12, 2026, the Ministry of Education acknowledged concerns over delayed allowances for supervisors, invigilators, security officers, examiners, and other contracted staff who helped administer and mark last year\u2019s national exams.<\/p>\n
According to the Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba, the delay was caused by budget and cash flow challenges affecting the release of funds. <\/p>\n
However, Ogamba assured those affected that payment has not been cancelled and is being actively processed.<\/p>\n
The Ministry said the professionals played a critical role in protecting the integrity and credibility of national examinations, adding that their work was central to the smooth running of Kenya\u2019s assessment calendar.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Ministry, working closely with the National Treasury, is taking steps to fast-track the release of funds within the shortest time possible,\u201d Ogamba said.<\/p>\n
The delayed payments have caused frustration among many contracted professionals, with some questioning whether they would be compensated for their work. <\/p>\n
The Ministry sought to calm these fears, saying it values the patience, professionalism, and cooperation shown during the delay.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government is committed to ensuring that such delays are avoided in the future,\u201d Ogamba said pledging better systems to guarantee timely payment going forward.<\/p>\n
The Ministry said further updates will be shared as progress is made on the payments.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
