Ever since he was moved from the ICT ministry where he often engaged with media players in boardroom brawls, Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has proved himself a fresh breath of air in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Cabinet.
On Wednesday, Dr Matiang’i outlined new measures to curb runaway exam cheating in schools. His action was prompted by outspread exam-cheating that led to the cancellation of results for some 5,100 candidates in last year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary exams, a 70 per cent rise compared to 2014.
