Kibicho's strong words come in the wake of a warning from the ministries of Interior and Coordination of National Government, and Education to those keen on compromising the national examinations that stern action will be taken against them.
Both ministries have assured the public of a seamless national examinations exercises free of the malpractices of the past that have cast aspersions on the integrity of the process.
The national exams will be done as the country transitions to the controversial Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) that will be a fundamental departure from the exam-oriented 8-4-4 system.
