Speaking with one of the media houses, one of the teachers confirmed the incident. Nonetheless, the educator, who spoke under the anonymity agreement, refused to provide further details about the event.

“The situation did not affect the exams. We are yet to get complete information on why the Principal was suspended.

According to earlier reports, the principal was brought to the Nyamira Police Station to give a statement regarding exam materials that had been discovered nearby.

“We have been following the DCI since morning but they have refused to release a statement on the charges levelled against the Principal,” he said.

More exam irregularities emerge

Two additional Nyamira County principals were allegedly suspended due to irregularities in exams. The Republic was informed on Tuesday by Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu that the KCSE exam would be administered with the utmost integrity.

The now-suspended Onyaru said at the time that local community support and coordination between all stakeholders were responsible for the successful performance.

A thorough statement regarding the principal’s suspension however has not yet been released by TSC or the DCI. We will keep you posted as soon as we find out more.
