Students at Mosoriot Teachers Training College (TTC) in Nandi County staged a protest on Friday 6 November 2026 over mass examination referrals, demanding full results and a probe by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC).

About 930 students took part in the demonstration, TV47 reported, marching to the County Director of Education's office. They are opposed to being ordered to retake examinations they say they had already completed, and blame poor internet connectivity during KNEC's online exams for the outcome.

Education News reported that Mosoriot recorded 927 referrals out of 944 candidates in the Diploma in Primary Teacher Education (DPTE) results released on 14 October, leaving only 17 listed as having cleared the requirements for graduation — the highest referral count among the colleges it listed.

Students speaking to reporters said they had prepared well but their results came back incomplete, marked as refers instead of full grades, and that the college had failed to provide transcripts or clear communication. They want the County Director of Education to intervene and KNEC to investigate what went wrong.

Some trainees said they sat the examinations as early as 2019 and have been waiting since, and that the technical failures were not their fault. They also complained about retake fees of Sh7,000, which they say add to the cost of the delay.

Citizen TV's Sema Citizen reported that students complained their papers appeared online, yet they are the ones being punished with retakes despite having prepared properly.

The Mosoriot protest follows a similar disruption two days earlier at St Mark's Teachers College, Kigari, in Embu County, where a server reportedly crashed in the middle of KNEC's Christian Religious Education summative examination on 4 November, leaving trainees unable to complete the paper. Police were called to the Kigari college as tension grew, and the local ward representative visited the institution.

A supplementary sitting for affected trainees is scheduled for January to February 2027, at a cost of KES 7,200 per trainee, with a further KES 5,000 for a practicum referral. KNEC has not yet released incident logs or a technical report on either disruption.
