More than 1700 KCPE candidates cheated, Kaimenyi

Kenya: More than 1700 candidates who sat this year's KCPE will miss their results for involvement in cheating, with invigilators and supervisors taking the heat for abetting irregularities.

 Education Cabinet Secretary Prof Jacob Kaimenyi reported rising number of cases in exam cheating and warned of harsher punishment for teachers who encouraged irregularities. "...it is extremely disturbing that both teachers and parents are involved," Kaimenyi said while releasing the results on Monday, linking the worsening situation to 'the decaying morals in the Kenyan society'.
