Most KCPE and KCSE students failed to sit for their exams in Kajiado County because of early marriages and pregnancies, Kajiado county commissioner David Kipkemei has said. The commissioner said 254 (55 KCSE and 199 KCPE) candidates failed to show up for exams in the county. He said more than 75 per cent of those who failed to sit for this year’s national examinations were girls. “Pregnancies among school-going girls in Kajioado are alarming especially in the interior areas of Loitokitok, Mashuuru and Kajiado West,” she said.
