The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has assured that there will be no leakages for this year’s KCSE and KCPE set to start this week.
KNEC chairman George Magoha has warned that stern action will be taken against anyone found selling or buying fake examination papers.
KCPE is scheduled to start on Tuesday, then KCSE whose practical papers are already underway.
“The Council wishes to categorically inform the public that this year’s KCPE examination papers have not been leaked whatsoever. We urge Kenyans to stop falling prey to the clear con game being mounted by unscrupulous businessmen who want to take to take opportunity of the tough measures we have put in place to curb corruption to fleece innocent Kenyans,” said Magoha.
Magoha said that the fake papers being sold to the public do not have any similarities to the original papers.
KNEC instituted tough measures to protect the integrity of national examinations.
This follows the rampant cheating that has been going in previous years, including last year when hundreds of teachers and students were arrested and prosecuted after being found in possession of examination papers.
