In a bid to hasten the application process for lost academic documents, the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has come up with a new procedure for those seeking to replace their certificates.
Initially, replacing lost academic documents was an uphill task that involved seeking approval from various government offices before getting a replacement.
In the latest procedure announced by KNEC, the application has been simplified to allow Kenyans to make submissions through an online platform.
