Dr. Njengere also issued directives concerning the handling of exam materials, requiring that school gates remain open from the time exam vehicles enter until the papers are returned to the examination containers.

“As soon as the vehicle carrying the examination enters the school compound, the gate should remain open until the vehicle returns the papers to the examination container,” added the CEO.

This measure aims to ensure the security and integrity of the examination process.
