He was also charged with misuse of examination materials contrary to section 29 of the KNEC Act of 2012.

Ndemo without legal representation before Senior Principle Magistrate Diana Mochache denied the charges.

He was released on a Ksh200, 000 bonds with a surety of a similar amount.

Mochache said that the case must be subjected to expeditious hearing so that justice to the suspect and KNEC is not delayed.

"This is a fast track case and it must be concluded before the results are out to ensure that faith is restored to the national examination body and also serve as an example to others who plan to do the same," said Mochache.

The magistrate ordered the investigating officer to supply witness statements and any other relevant documentary evidence to the prosecution so that the case can be heard and determined as soon as possible.
