NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 27 – The National Assembly Education Committee is set to hold a meeting with the Office of Director of Public Prosecutions and Judiciary in regards to the Inquiry on allegations of cheating in 2022 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations.
The committee has been investigating allegations that the examinations were not credible.
In its preliminary findings, the committee which is chaired by Julius Melley accused the Kenya National Examination Council of actively facilitating examination leaks, including in last year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examination.
The House team found that some schools pay as much as 1 million Shillings to get exam leakages to sustain their reputation as academic giants in the country.
The committee also attributed cases of cheating to the pressure exerted on head teachers, by their employer, the Teachers Service Commission, to deliver good results so that they can be promoted.
Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has stated the KCSE 2022 administration was clean and that the Ministry of Education devised various mechanisms to curb cheating.
