Kenyans on twitter are now appealing to the government to deploy cabinet secretaries at the roadblocks that are normally manned by traffic police. Do you know why? Well, Kenya national examinations kicked off last week with KCPE exams that started last week Tuesday ending Thursday the same week.
On this week, Monday November 5, 2018, KCSE exams kicked off.
Both the exams have been conducted under a tight security with strict measures, the process that has seen Cabinet Secretaries supervise the exams.
Today during the kick off of KCSE, Treasury cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich was at Moi Girls High School Nairobi foreseeing the process whereas Education CS Amina Mohamed was in Mombasa County to supervise the opening of the container that had exam materials.
Supervising the issuance of examination material at the Mombasa sub-county (Mvita) container as #KCSE2018 kicks off. Joined by @AbabuNamwamba to monitor the process across the County. I guarantee that this exercise shall be fair and secure. @ExamsCouncil @TSCKenya @KICDKenya pic.twitter.com/VXkY0tnXNy

The ministry of Education is using Cabinet secretaries to help curb cheating and some few cases that were reported during KCPE exams, among them the disappearing of examination materials of one of the schools while being ferried.
The teacher who was in charge has hence been arrested. With all these measures, do you think candidates can get a chance to cheat in their exams?
How invigilators will be supervising the #KCSE2018 exams 😀
Wishing success to all the candidates. pic.twitter.com/0v8lyS4FLD— Username (@UsernameInc) November 5, 2018
Following this trend, Kenyans now wish that the government do the same at all road blocks on the Kenyan roads to curb bribery and rogue traffic police on the roads.
How i wish these @UKenyatta CS’s would also stand on every road Blocks and make sure no bribes are taken by this Killer Traffic police the way they are doing on #KCSE2018. Just a wish
