Speaking on Monday after inspecting an examination container, the CS noted measures are already set up to protect the credibility of the exams. He insisted the government would not tolerate any malpractice at any stage of the examination process. “We are confident that each candidate will complete their exams safely, and that their results will depict their true efforts,” he said. However, several people have been implicated in exam malpractice, one of them being a university student who was caught sitting for the exam on behalf of a candidate. Preliminary investigations revealed the student had been paid KSh 20,000 to sit the exam on behalf of a candidate. He was arrested alongside five invigilators, the centre manager, and the supervisor.
