The government has intensified security and oversight measures to protect the integrity of the ongoing Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations, with Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba inspecting key examination centres in Nairobi.
Ogamba began his Wednesday morning inspection at the Kibra Sub-County Deputy County Commissioner's Office, where he witnessed the opening of an examination container and the distribution of materials to centres. He later visited State House Girls Senior School to assess how the examinations were being conducted and review the preparedness of examination officials.
The inspections come as the government moves to address logistical and security challenges that could disrupt the exercise.
The Ministries of Education, Interior and National Administration, and Information, Communications and the Digital Economy are working with other government agencies to strengthen surveillance, improve coordination and respond to emerging concerns.
Special arrangements have also been put in place for candidates who require medical assistance, so that their circumstances do not interfere with their participation in the examinations.
Security agencies have been tasked with maintaining vigilance, particularly in areas experiencing security challenges, while examination officials continue to enforce measures aimed at preventing malpractice. The government says the coordinated approach is intended to ensure that all candidates sit their examinations in a safe, fair and controlled environment.
