The government has hard the hardships teachers are going through from the beginning of this done and now the term is ending but the government has done nothing to assist them live a normal life like any other civil servants, Kamuren indicated.

On the other hand, Kamuren complained has kept quiet on exam leakage menace instead of disciplining those who deal with exam cheating claiming that the government has systems to check the source of exam leakage.

Kamuren added that teachers will continue to uphold their honest as far as exam is concerned and that they are innocent thus should not be blamed for the ongoing exam irregularities witnessed during the KCSC exam papers.
