The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has issued a public notice after misplacing the grant title deed for its property, Plot L.R. No. 209/6900.
The examination body, which is ISO 9001:2015 certified, has appealed to the public for help in recovering the crucial document.
“In the notice, KNEC urged anyone who may have come across the title deed to return it to their offices in South C, off Mombasa Road, or to the nearest police station,” read part of a notice.
Alternatively, the notice added, the document can be mailed to the Chief Executive Officer at P.O. Box 73598-00200, Nairobi.
The loss of the title deed raises concerns about the security of sensitive documents at the government agency, which is responsible for administering national examinations.
KNEC has not disclosed how or when the document went missing, nor the potential implications of its loss.
Members of the public with information are encouraged to cooperate with KNEC to ensure the title deed is restored promptly.
The grant title confirms the council’s rights over the land which was previously owned by the government.
In 2022, the council moved its headquarters to Mitihani House in South C after 35 years of construction.
Before the move, the council operated from at least six locations in Nairobi, including Dennis Pritt Road and Industrial Area.
The office complex cost an estimated Sh3 billion, surpassing the initial budget of Sh248 million due to contractor turnover.
