Examiners who threatened to paralyse the marking of this year's Kenya Certificate for Secondary Education (KCSE) were sent home and replaced with a new team.

This happened after commotion rocked the marking of the Christian Religious Education (CRE) Paper One at St Francis Girl's High School- Mang'u, in Gatundu North.

The centre hosted about 1,000 examiners. The Standard established that the decision to send home some of them was made following a meeting between the Ministry of Education, the Teachers Service Commission and the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC).
