The Education cabinet Secretary, Dr. Amina Mohammed, has sent a strong warning to any one who may attempt to compromise this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education Examinations, that kicked off yesterday. The CS, who was speaking after supervising the start of English paper one examinations at Murang’a boys high school this morning, said the government has put in place stringent measures to safeguard the credibility of the National tests.
“The Government has put in place careful and extensive measures to ensure that the outcome of these examinations is a true reflection of the effort and hard work of our candidates,” Dr. Amina said. The CS was speaking in relation to yesterday’s report that cases of cheating had been detected in Nyanza and western regions, yesterday, as the exams kicked off country wide.
The CS sounded a strong warning to those may indulge in examination malpractices. “Any attempts to contaminate the examination process will be detected and arrested immediately. I wish to send a warning to anybody attempting, contemplating or with the intention to interfere with this process, you will be detected, tracked down and apprehended,” the CS said.
She further advised parents and candidates to resist any attempts by any one to lure them into indulging in examination related malpractices; as the penalties attached are hefty. “The council (The Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC) advises parents, candidates and other stake holders not to be duped into engaging in any activities that will compromise the ability of candidates to sit their examinations in a fair and stable environment,” Dr. Amina added.
Yesterday, at Monianku Secondary School, in Gucha South Sub-county of Kisii county, about 17 persons were arrested for alleged examination malpractices. Incidentally, Monianku secondary school hired outsiders to facilitate examination malpractices at the examination centre. 5 suspects were nabbed by the Gucha South OCPD, Mr. Vincent Kitili, in a house that is located next to the school’s compound. The 5 were in possession of a chemistry paper which was underway, at the time. Those arrested included: Irene Kivunja Mbone, Judith Nyambeki, Alex Ziko Akuma, Christopher Ogora and Makori Edwin.
After the day’s examinations, the police arrested more suspects for questioning. Those arrested included the school’s staff members and the Kenya National Examinations Council contracted field officers (Supervisor and invigilators). They were: Mutende John (the supervisor), Invigilators (Joel Omagwa, Edna Morwabe, Gideon Nyagaka, Benard Omoro, John Abuta, Ann Nyaboe and Joel Nyakwanya) and the school’s deputy principal, Mr. Peter Arori, who is also the deputy centre manager.
The police could, however, not arrest 2 other individuals believed to have played a role at the examination cheating process. The school bursar, Peter Onchieku, ran into hiding plus the owner of the cyber cafe where the chemistry paper was photocopied, Fred Okindo.

The Kenya National Examinations Council chair, Prof George Magoha, in his press statement last evening said: “An alert system, formidable KNEC guidelines and security measures put in place over the year today helped to detect, and nip in the bud, attempts to smuggle foreign materials into two examination centres – one in Nyanza and another in Western region. At least 15 people, including centre managers and invigilators of the two schools, were arrested and are in police custody arising from the two incidents. No candidate had been exposed to any foreign material by the time Council thwarted the ulterior motives.” Read full details here: KNEC: Status of KCSE, 2018, Examinations’ administration

The International Commission of Jurists, ICJ, has come out to strongly criticize the excessive use of force against striking Maseno University Students. “(we) condemn in the strongest terms possible the police brutality on Students of Maseno University. This excessive use of force was uncalled for and does not only violate (the) Kenyan law but also international guidelines on use of force by law enforcement,” read a presser by ICJ, today.
The agitated students, on Sunday 4th November 2018, staged demonstrations against alleged police harassment. The students blocked the busy Kisumu – Busia road; and lit fierce bonfires. The students staged the demos after their colleagues, who had visited the Maseno Police Station to report on an attack on four of their other comrades, were locked up by the police.
The police were seen being brutalized by the police even after surrendering. See images and video below (Disclaimer! some content may be graphic).

Meet this man, Miguna Miguna… A politician, a lawyer and a columnist. He has, in the past, unsuccessfully vied for political seats, sworn in Raila Odinga as president and was forcefully deported from Kenya.
For him, everything happening in Kenya is wrong; from the handshake to the lifestyle audits. Maybe he is right, maybe he is wrong.
We sample some of his recent statements. He has no kind words for the political class:
“Fellow Kenyans, celebrating the Kenya vs Ethiopia victory is like an adult celebrating that he has wrestled a toddler to the ground. Ethiopia went through a 30-year-civil-war and has been at the ICU since the war ended. Beat Brazil, France or Italy and I’ll join your celebrations. The Despots: Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga, William Ruto and their cabals are laughing their heads off in their multibillion mansions as hungry, oppressed, exploited and enslaved zombies are DISTRACTED to celebrating the Kenya vs Ethiopia meaningless victories. Liberate yourselves mentally. He goes on to say:
“I admit that Kenya is NUMBER 1 in the theft and plunder of public resources. Yes, we are number 1 in extra-judicial killings, torture and repression. We are often number 2 in long distance running. But what INTELLECTUAL pursuits are we number 1 in? Tell me.”
“Kenyans placed term limits and restricted their elected leaders or imposters to 2 terms of 5 years each to curtail authoritarianism. Now, the Despot, his hand cheque lapdog and sycophants are yelling that Uhuru Kenyatta must rule for life. A Constitution should never be repealed or changed to suit anyone no matter how powerful, repressive or wealthy s/he may be. A Kshs 200 billion referendum will worsen the lives of Kenyans. Respect and uphold the Constitution as it exists, deliver services and create jobs.”
“Leading Kenyan plunderers who are hiding TRILLIONS OF SHILLINGS looted public wealth abroad: Daniel arap Moi & Family, Uhuru Kenyatta & Family, Mwai Kibaki & Family, Raila Odinga & Family, William Ruto & Family, Nicholas Biwott and Chris Kirubi & Family.”
And Miguna writes off the lifestyle audit exercise by the president as just a mere Public Relations: “Kenyans must not support despotic PR exercises called ‘lifestyle audits,’ mythical bridges to nowhere or a referendum as Uhuru Kenyatta and his lapdogs Raila Odinga, MoivGideon, Kalonzo Musyoka and others continue looting TRILLIONS of our resources.”
That is Miguna Miguna for you!
