Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohammed has reprimanded some of the KCSE examination managers for failing to carry along their badges to exams centres.
Amina cautioned the officers administering examinations in Mavoko Sub County against keeping the badges at home instead of displaying them while on duty.
“Some of the examination managers didn’t carry along their badges to the centres, it is their respective security personnel who identified them. We could have sent them away,” Amina said.
She addressed the press at Athi River deputy county commissioner David Juma’s office in Machakos County on Wednesday.
“Some of the centre managers may be removed for not carrying along their badges. We will watch them today and tomorrow before we make a decision,” she added.
Amina said the government will not tolerate any form of examination malpractices.
“There are no exams leakages so far, we expect the process to continue smoothly without hitches,” Amina said.
The CS arrived at the deputy county commissioner’s office premises at 5.30am.
She opened the examination’s container and supervised KCSE papers distribution for close to an hour before visiting some of the examination centres within the Sub-county.
Amina visited St. Augustine Mlolongo, Mavoko, Star Sheikh, Lukenya Centre of Excellence and Kyumbi secondary schools respectively for exams’ monitoring and supervision.
She was accompanied by Machakos county commissioner Abdullahi Galgalo, Athi River deputy county commissioner David Juma, education and area county security officials.
