The Head of Public Affairs at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), John K. Kapi, has dismissed claims that the organization manipulates examination results to favor any political party.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Kapi emphasized that WAEC upholds strict standards in its marking schemes and ensures fairness for all candidates.
Mr. Kapi strongly refuted the allegations, stating, “It’s untrue that we alter results to favour any government. No one should claim our exams are politically influenced. What candidates deserve is exactly what they receive.”
He assured the public that WAEC’s processes are designed to be transparent and impartial.
Addressing concerns about potential undue influence and compromised WAEC officials, Mr. Kapi explained that the organization has no intention to adjust marking schemes to please any government.
“Such claims are baseless. No one within our organization would compromise our standards,” he said, highlighting the rigorous review and agreement on marking schemes during coordination meetings.
He further reiterated that examiners are instructed to strictly adhere to the agreed-upon criteria.
“We stand by our rigorous processes to guarantee fair and impartial examination outcomes,” Mr. Kapi added, assuring stakeholders of WAEC’s commitment to integrity and consistency in all its operations.
