A lot of Kenyans have been requesting that corrupt officials be paraded and punished before the public to learn their lesson.Well they may not get their wish there but certainly another type of criminal is set to be revealed to Kenyans soon.

Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohammed has revealed plans of an expose while addressing the press after visiting Naivasha Girls High school to supervise the ongoing KCSE examinations which entered the second week.

She was issuing an order by the government directing schools to use their buses to ferry KCSE candidates to and from school due to the ongoing transport crisis occasioned by the crackdown targeting PSVs.

On the exams, Amina said that four students had been de-registered after they were nabbed with foreign materials in the examinations rooms.

Though she did not name the schools where the students are based, the CS said that they were investigating other students and action would be taken.

“Once the examinations are over we shall release the number of students, center managers and even security officers arrested in connection with various malpractices,” she said.

She directed center managers to be more vigilant and frisk the candidates every time they left the exam rooms to avoid cases of cheating.

Amina admitted that there was a cartel selling fake examination materials adding that two suspects had already been arrested.

“The main problem is that some students have fallen prey to these cartels but I would like to assure the country that the real examination material is safe,” she said.

The CS at the same time defended the government following concern from various quarters that security was too stringent. “We have come from a situation where examinations were obtained through money and we shall not allow the country to be dragged through that route again,”

“We saw situations in the past where students obtained A’s but on joining university they could not cope and they had to drop,” she added.

Basic Education PS Belio Kipsang awhile back cautioned that any school or examination center that will access question papers before time will be shut and the administration process suspended.

Kipsang observed that most of the students who had their examinations cancelled last year had phones in schools with the knowledge of their parents and teachers.

“Moving forward, we will work with the asset recovery unit and start recalling certificates of parents and teachers who are aiding children to cheat in examinations,” warned Kipsang.
