KNEC Caught Flat-Footed as Ksh1.9B Project Stalls Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) house along Dennis Pritt Road in Nairobi. Twitter Kenya National Examinations Council's (KNEC) challenges have compounded following a Ksh1.9 billion project that stalled for 35 years. A report by Nation on Thursday, March 17, indicated that KNEC is staring at Ksh44 million interest in the project that will be shouldered by taxpayers. The project included the construction of Kenya National Examinations Council's (KNEC) headquarters. It was launched in 1986 at a value of Ksh248 million but has suffered setbacks through the years and passed through the hands of five contractors.
