The students have until the end of next month before they know their fate. That is to say they have to wait for a whole month to know if they will be given results.
Results were withheld due to alleged irregularities committed by the candidates and investigation is underway to determine the matter.
After the results were released, the candidates from the school who tried to check their results through sms did not receive text messages showing how they scored.

Part of the letter read that the results of all the 2021 candidates at Oriwo Boys High School, centre code 41731303 have been withheld due to suspicion that the candidates might have engaged in exam irregularities.
Dr Njengere did not state what was done exactly by the students to prompt withholding of the results by KNEC.
However, he said the findings from the ongoing investigation shall be communicated next month (30 days from today).
Oriwo boys Principal Mr Akal has been instructed to pass the message from KNEC to the candidates affected. Atleast five hundred boys Who were registered.
