The center manager, two supervisors and an invigilator deployed to Hezta Primary School in Ol Kalou, Nyandarua County were arrested on Wednesday, October 30, after four teachers at the institution allegedly aided 29 pupils in exam cheating.

The tutors were also apprehended.

According to Nyandarua County Commissioner, Boaz Cherutich, security officers assigned to the school got suspicious when they saw the four teachers within the school compound as KCPE tests continued, an act which is prohibited by the national exam council.

“After alerting my office, I assigned law enforcement agents to go to the school and investigate the allegations. Preliminary report shows there was negligence on the side of the center manager, two supervisors and an invigilator, given they allowed the four teachers to access the school, which is against KNEC ‘s exam supervision regulations,” Cherutich was quoted by a local daily.

“We have asked the Teachers’ Service Commission to take disciplinary action against the eight. Tomorrow [Thursday, October 31], a new team will be deployed to supervise the Social Studies paper at Hezta Primary School,” said Cherutich.

The suspects will be arraigned once investigations are concluded, said the county commissioner.
