Hundreds of teachers marking the 2020 KCSE examination at the State House Girls centre, Nairobi, have downed their tools protesting reduced allowances.
This is likely to delay the release of the results as earlier communicated by Education CS George Magoha.
A source at the centre told the Standard that the teachers were set to mark the last paper (English) before they are released on Wednesday, May 5, 2021.
But on getting reports that the other teachers in the 34 marking centres had been released without pay, the one in Nairobi decided to protest the move, a source told us.

Marking of Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination scripts in some centres was temporarily stopped after examiners protested terms introduced by Kenya National Examinations Council.
The Standard established that the teachers objected to a new rule by Knec that reviewed an advance payment of about Sh20,000, often given to the teachers before they exit marking centres.
The teachers also declined another proposal by Knec to reduce the advance payment by half.
The examiners also wanted the transport reimbursement increased, saying the cost of travel went up due to the Covid-19 travel restrictions.
