3 Suspects arraigned in court over KCPE leakage

Three suspects were today arraigned in Kabarnet resident magistrate court in Baringo County over alleged possession of an authorized examination paper contrary to Kenya National Examination Council.
The suspects were arrested yesterday at Barwesa in Baringo North sub-county having examination papers suspected to be the ongoing Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) contrary to section 27(1) of KNEC act number 29 of 2012.
Geoffrey Koech, Kiplagat Keitany and Poul Chesomat were brought before the resident magistrates court before twenty four hours elapse after the arrest as per the laws.
Meanwhile the affidavit   in court reads that the suspects were of sound mind and thus in a position to answer the case alleged to them according to the laws of Kenya and if found guilty will be detained or released under article 49 of the constitution
To prove the allegations, the police officer investigating the case requested the court to be given 14 days for further investigations regarding the allegations before hearing on 24th November 2015.
The suspects were arrested on the first day the pupils all over the country began their KCPE examinations just after the completion of Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education last week where exam leakage was rampant.
The three suspects will be held in police custody to allow for investigations in order to reveal whether the suspects were teachers or residents in the area.
