KCSE supervisor arrested in Nairobi over exam mix-up

A KCSE examination supervisor at Olympic Secondary School in Kibra, Nairobi was arrested on Monday after she allegedly unknowingly opened the wrong examination papers.

Kibra Deputy Commissioner Gideon Ombogi said the female teacher opened the English Paper 2 exam instead of paper 1 while issuing out the tests.

The deputy commissioner, however, confirmed that the exam did not leak, noting that the supervisor did not display the contents.

The exam official was taken to Kilimani Police Station to shed more light on the circumstances under which the mishap happened.

Sources at the school said the papers were recalled from the students after two streams had received the said papers on their desks.

The English Paper 1 test was scheduled to be the first exam while Paper 2 was supposed to be done in the mid-morning.
