After the management of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations last week, the government is now facing the challenge of guarding the month-long Form Four tests.

Some 577,079 candidates will sit the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) starting tomorrow, with the government keeping secret its strategy to secure the examinations. During last year’s examinations, 5,101 KCSE candidates had their results cancelled against 2,701 KCPE candidates.
