Three Schools Under Police Radar for Suspected KCSE Exam Cheating.
Police in Nandi County are investigating three schools following allegations of exam malpractice. Seven teachers were arrested for possessing suspected examination materials shared via social media.
The affected schools under scrutiny are Kamimei Secondary School in Nandi South, Koitalel Samoei Boys School in Nandi East, and Lelwark Boys School, also in Nandi East.
Nandi County Criminal Investigation Officer Peter Ochieng revealed that the arrested individuals include a supervisor and an invigilator.
Authorities across the county have heightened security to dismantle any exam cheating networks.
He emphasized the police’s ability to detect online exam fraud swiftly and reiterated the government’s commitment to protecting learners’ futures.
The teachers involved were granted bail as investigations proceed.
At the start of the examination period, Nandi County Commissioner Caroline Nzwili urged all stakeholders to uphold integrity.

Koitalel Samoei Boys High School faced similar scrutiny last year when the Kenya National Examination Council withheld results for 282 candidates for one month to investigate suspected irregularities.
This highlights the ongoing challenge of ensuring exam integrity in the region.
