Ministry Reaffirms Integrity of the KCSE and KCPE Exams Amid Leakage Claims.
In the midst of allegations of cheating, Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha reaffirmed the integrity of the upcoming National Examinations in both Primary and Secondary schools.
Magoha told National School Heads on Thursday in Kisumu County that the exam is secure and that students will only be able to access it on the day of the exams.
According to CS Magoha, the Ministry has received intelligence on several people who are allegedly peddling fake examination papers in order to entice unsuspecting Kenyans.
He claimed that a handful of teachers from South Nyanza and Kisii are among the main culprits responsible for leaking examinations across the country once they leave the exam containers.
Magoha also reiterated his comments on the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), claiming that its implementation is being curtailed by the courts.
While expressing confidence that he is prepared to fight in court to see the CBC implemented, he urged stakeholders to stand firm in defending what they believe in.
“It looks like the courts are being used to stop you. And who said the judge is Jesus Christ? I am not afraid to stand before the court. As a scholar, you must do what is right as far as CBC is concerned,” Magoha said
“I do not expect you to accept CBC wholesomely without giving an intellectual opinion. When we are scholars, we can never agree on everything; if scholars agree on everything, either one of them is stupid or one is not telling the truth because if you are thinking you must differ,” Magoha stated.
While portraying CBC as the future of education in the country, Magoha hinted that CBC would be the ultimate solution to school unrest.

“By the time we have CBC children in High school, I want to tell you, no school would be burned because we would have offered these children proper root from the ground,” Magoha explained.
The CS revealed that the government would conduct vaccination exercises in schools aimed at children of the appropriate age.
