Man caught selling K.C.S.E exam papers
Police in Oyugis, Homa Bay County have arrested a man suspected of involvement in the sale of fake Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education ( KCSE) examination papers. The man whose identity was not revealed by police is said to have been cornered after parents raised an alarm that he was purporting to sell them the papers. Nyanza Regional Police Coordinator Charles Narangwe said the man is being held by police and is expected to shed more light on the incident. “We will work with all DCIOs in the region to nab anyone planning to steal from parents,” he said. A parent in the county on Monday revealed to The Standard that a man had called him to inquire if he would need the papers for his son. The cell phone number used to contact the parent was then forwarded to police who traced and arrested him at Oyugis town. Two other parents had also expressed fear that their children may be duped into the shady deals, calling on police to crack the whip on suspects. The parents who said they have been receiving calls from the crooks expressed fear that more parents may have been sucked into the illegal business.
