In July, TSC interdicted 12 teachers in West Pokot County over KCSE 2017 exam cheating. This year, KNEC Chairperson George Magogha said the outcome presented what every student worked for.

Though the process has been seamless, he says they are still outstanding issues to be addressed to ensure the exams credibility is not diluted.
