The CS stated that he had written to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) asking them to ensure the re-run presidential election is held a week before October 17th.
He stated that this would give the candidates time to prepare for the examinations without any distraction.
"I have personally called IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati and shared the exam timetables to make a case," Matiang'i stated.
"If this does not happen it will lead to the disruption of the academic programme in the education sector," he added.
His sentiments were echoed by KNEC Chairman Professor George Magoha who stated that postponing exams was most undesirable as children would not manage to handle it.
