In the same period, another principal identified as MR K’AUKO caused the cancellation of results for two different schools — OBAMBO SECONDARY SCHOOL and OTIENO OYOO SCHOOL — when he was found in possession of leaked examination papers. Instead of being prosecuted, says the report, K’AUKO WAS TRANSFERRED TO ONJIKO HIGH SCHOOL (situated near the Ahero/Kisii junction).
Here, says the report, he bought exams without being immediately detected and the school’s performance shot up sharply after many years of poor performance. This principal was INTERDICTED LATER FOR MONEY LAUNDERING. He would later be reinstated and posted to head THURDIBURO HIGH SCHOOL in NYAKACH Constituency, Kisumu County.
It’s further reported that during the 2011 national examinations, the principal of Kanga Boys High School in Migori County HAD ALL THE EXAMINATION PAPERS FOR THAT YEAR. Although Knec obtained this information, it chose to narrow down to the mathematics paper. Results for two candidates were cancelled in the process. Detectives say KNEC OFFICER B was bribed with an unknown amount of money in this incident.
During the same period, detectives established that the same KNEC OFFICER B got information that NYAKACH GIRLS had leaked BIOLOGY PAPER 1 scheduled for the following day. In the company of another unidentified man, KNEC OFFICER B entered the school at 5:30am and went straight to the Dining Hall.
Here, he found TWO LADIES COACHING CANDIDATES. The two ladies and the candidates took off frantically, dropping the materials which were picked by the said Knec officer as evidence. THE EXHIBITS WERE NEVER DELIVERED to the research and quality assurance department of KNEC and the two ladies did not get charged. KNEC OFFICER B WAS ALLEGEDLY BRIBED with SH1 MILLION and the school’s results were never cancelled.
OBERA SECONDARY SCHOOL in Ndhiwa Constituency, Homa Bay County, had its 2011 results cancelled. The then principal, identified as Duncan Juma Osodo (now an employee of the County Government of Homa Bay), is said to have bribed FORMER KNEC BOSS PAUL WASANGA and a MRS EDDAH IKUMI MUIRURI for the results to be released.
The principal, probably due to excitement, says the report, went to the then Nyanza Provincial Director of Education, identified as Mr Cherongis (now TSC County Director Nairobi) informing him that his school had excelled yet it was not ranked. MR CHERONGIS then called the CEO. Strangely, this time, the CEO ordered nullification of the results, yet a portion of the candidates had been issued with result slips.
Similarly, between the year 2012 and 2013, GENEVIEVE K’OPIYO, a KNEC OFFICER, went out on KCSE monitoring within Nairobi County. She bumped into candidates revising a PHOTOCOPIED KNEC EXAMINATION PAPER and took a snapshot of the same. She called KNEC OFFICER B, the CEO and two other senior officials (JOYCE SABARI and DIANA MAKAU) to report.
