I think they will buy space in the media to advertise the scores

I don't know if they do that, but you should not look at organizations in totality, but as kidogo units - if you have short code targets for any telcom company then you will salivate at such an amount - and when the mouth waters an the tummy growls then the brain is forced to come up with ways of drying the mouth and silencing the stomach.

lakini the last time I looked into that biashara, the short codes belonged to third party companies that got the deal from knec for the sms/results system.

The 'chokoras' grab part from cars, to supply some decent middle men business guys, who make some decent profit from the sales - though the figures involved for each part would make you wonder why one would go through all the troubles.
but again, what do I know

Mama Makini has spoken with bitterness saying that Countries are ranked according to their gdp's and that Jesus ranked us according to faith.
Insists that Makini is King of the jungle and ranks are ok! smh bad air.

I see the folks at nation doing their best to sell some papers
Girls dominate top positions in KCPE exams in Coast schools

its nice to appreciate top performance, I am sure the kids work hard for that - but at the national level, for 12/13 year olds where the conditions and resources available to the students are vastly disproportionate. I say let the celebration/ranking happen at the school level.
