After the arrest of the four invigilators, Education CS George Magoha said that the security system of the Government will catch up with unscrupulous individuals who think that they can bypass the watertight security.
“We wish to inform the country that we unearthed a case of early exposure of some papers during this examination. Under these circumstances, unprofessional examination officials manage to expose the examinations a little earlier than the scheduled time once the papers leave safely from the examination container. The questions are them shared with the targeted candidates just before the examinations start,” said CS Magoha.
