This is why we are not going back; teachers tell of harrowing experiences

In November 2012, Patrick Kimathi Miriti, a teacher at Shafshafy Primary School in Mandera County, was compelled to invigilate national examinations in a neighbouring school. After going through the rehearsals, he went back to his work station where he lived with a colleague, arriving at the house at 6pm.

Barely two hours later, unknown people broke into his compound and shot him dead. Reason? Kimathi had issued a stern warning to candidates against cheating in examinations.
