The Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) is set to process payments for contracted professionals responsible for administering the 2025 exams and assessments at the end of February, contingent upon the availability of funds. However, many professionals, including teachers, drivers, and security personnel, often face issues with payment. Knec has outlined several reasons why some may miss their payments and provided remedies for each.
Key Takeaways
- Knec will pay contracted professionals at the end of February if funds are available.
- Common issues leading to missed payments include name mismatches, missing ID numbers, and documentation issues.
- Solutions involve updating details in the CP2 portal and ensuring proper documentation is submitted.
- Daily reimbursements for roles like invigilators and supervisors have been revised upward following complaints.
Reasons Invigilators & Supervisors May Miss Payment
Knec has identified five key reasons why some contracted professionals may not receive their payments:
- Name Mismatch: If the name registered in the CP2 system does not match the name linked to the provided M-Pesa account, payment cannot be processed.
- Missing ID or TSC/PF Number: If professionals fail to provide their ID number or TSC/PF number, it can result in payment delays. Solution: Log in to the CP2 portal and input the correct data.
- Missing Documentation: Payment can be delayed if attendance registers are not submitted or lack the necessary official stamps and signatures. Solution: Centre managers should verify, sign, stamp, and submit attendance registers to the Sub-County Director of Education (SCDE), who will forward them to Knec.
- Unregistered Deployment: If an invigilator or supervisor worked but has not been documented as deployed in the CP2 portal, they will not receive payment. Solution: Contact the SCDE to register your query, providing details such as the year of invigilation, exam type, and your M-Pesa number.
- Slow Response to Data Requests: Delays in providing accurate data can hinder payment. Solution: Ensure information sent to Knec is complete and accurate before resending through the SCDE.
Revised Payment Rates
Knec has adjusted the compensation for contracted professionals following feedback from secondary school teachers. Here is the breakdown of the revised daily reimbursement rates:
- Invigilators and Centre Managers: Sh 550 per day
- Supervisors: Sh 680 per day
- KPSEA Invigilators: Sh 1,680 for 3 days
- KJSEA Invigilators: Sh 3,300 for 6 days
- KPSEA & KJSEA Supervisors: Sh 4,080 for 6 days
- KCSE Supervisors: Sh 10,880 for 16 days
- KCSE Invigilators: Sh 8,800 for 16 days
