A student disclosed detailed information about how they got papers ahead of time. The student who sat for the exam asked to remain anonymous told the reporters that they utilized social media for communicating with clients who had access to the papers.
He went on to say that an hour or two before the exams, the leaked papers would be delivered to their phones.
The candidate then scribbled answers on a napkin and snuck them into the exam room.
"On March 28, 2022, I engaged in conversations with someone who had the Geography paper in his possession scheduled for 11 am on that day."
The candidate went on to say that the authorities had a difficult time tracking down the perpetrators because much of the contact took place on social media.
The student confirmed that some of their teachers were aware of the exam malpractice but did not take proper action when asked how the plans came into play.
"We received all papers of Kiswahili, CRE, Chemistry including practicals. Often we would get the papers an hour or two hours before the exam begins. So the leakage was there, and the government should stop saying otherwise," he claimed
The student's revelation differs from that of Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha, who stated that the exam had not been leaked.
“I repeat, no examination paper has been leaked; none will. I thank all the thousands of KNEC-contracted personnel who have put aside all their personal and official demands to ensure the examination is safely guarded,” the CS had said.
