There was drama at Radat secondary school in Mogotio, Baringo when a form four student was busted cheating in exams.
According to a statement by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Kennedy Ruto, left the examination center to access examination material for the Agriculture paper that was being administered on Wednesday.
The student went to a neighboring compound in civilian clothes that he had put on top of his school uniform by going through the school fence, a move that made detectives that were within the school compound become suspicious.
“Detectives who were within the school’s vicinity became suspicious and followed suit over the fence, landing on the other side with a thud!” DCI said in a statement.
Ruto was found in company of two other unknown individuals who were conversing in low tones. The trio scampered to different directions when one of the detective announced his arrival, leaving behind a mobile phone that contained a replica of the Geography and Physics papers administered on Tuesday and the Agriculture paper that the candidates sat for on Wednesday.
“A manhunt for the suspect and his accomplices has since been launched with detectives based at the forensic cyber and digital laboratory, joining in the operation,” DCI said.
Meanwhile, detectives in Nairobi arraigned four other suspects of exam cheating at the Milimani Law Courts, who were part of a larger syndicate dubbed ‘Bailing out’ and the ‘Kalee’ group arrested two weeks ago.
The four had masterminded examination fraud on social media groups with followers in their thousands sitting the ongoing KCSE examination, buying examination papers and answers.
“Gideon Tanui, Kevin Kiprotich, Justice Leting and James Obongo, pleaded not guilty and were released on a Sh 300,000 cash bail and a bond of Sh 500,000 each with a surety,” DCI said.
