Former Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has announced plans to host an online Christian Religious Education (CRE) revision session for candidates sitting the ongoing 2026 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations. The session is scheduled for Thursday evening, November 5, 2026. Mosiria encouraged candidates to come prepared with their Bibles, focusing on the Old Testament. He emphasized that he has no illicit materials and urged candidates to trust in their preparation.
Mosiria's move is not an isolated initiative, as it follows a similar move by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, who recently revived his popular free national examination revision classes. On October 23, Babu hosted an online session covering KCSE Mathematics Papers 1 and 2 to help students tackle complex numerical topics. Babu originally launched his virtual lessons in 2020 during the COVID-19 school disruptions.
Mosiria's session aims to provide CRE support to KCSE candidates, adding to the list of subjects receiving public attention from political figures during the national exam period. The initiative has sparked interest among candidates and observers alike. Mosiria's announcement comes as he and Babu Owino are expected to compete for the same parliamentary seat in the upcoming 2027 General Election.
Observers note a potential political undertone to Mosiria's announcement, with the move widely viewed as part of an ongoing battle for public influence and visibility among young voters and families. Mosiria and Babu Owino have been actively engaging with the public through various initiatives, seeking to gain traction ahead of the 2027 elections.
In his social media statement, Mosiria encouraged candidates to trust in their preparation rather than seeking illegal examination shortcuts. He emphasized that he possesses no illicit materials, stating "Tupatane revision CRE paper kesho jioni na kila candidate abebe Bible old testament! Mimi sina leakage niko na imani mtapita tu, bora ujiamini na uweke mungu mbele!"
Babu Owino's Academic Outreaches have been a notable feature of the national exam period, with his initiative providing support to students across the country. His virtual lessons have been particularly popular, offering students a chance to engage with complex topics and receive guidance from an experienced educator.
As the 2026 KCSE examinations continue, candidates are seeking support from various sources to aid their revision. Mosiria's online CRE revision session and Babu Owino's Academic Outreaches are just a few examples of initiatives aimed at providing students with additional resources to help them succeed in their exams.
