Thirteen teachers, including nine invigilators, have been arrested over examination malpractice at Nyamninia Secondary School in Gem Yala sub-county. The arrests came after Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) officials reported suspicious behavior among candidates sitting for Mathematics Paper 2 on November 11.
During a search, officials discovered candidates in possession of photocopied answers. Four copies were retrieved from supervisor Isaac Wesonga, with more found on students attempting to hide or destroy the evidence. Authorities believe a coordinated cheating effort was underway, involving both candidates and school personnel.
The detainees, including the school’s exam supervisor, a Board of Management teacher, the centre manager, and deputy, are being held at Yala Police Station and are expected in court tomorrow to face charges.
