A 32-year-old high school teacher suspected to be the chief supplier of the ongoing Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination irregularities in the Nyanza region has been arrested in Homa Bay County.
Calvin Magolo, a teacher at Nyagwethe Secondary School in Suba sub-county, was arrested by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officials in Mbita town on Wednesday 7th April.
Confirming the incident Homa Bay County Commissioner Moses Lilan alleged that Magolo is the chief supplier of examination materials in the Southern Nyanza region comprising Homa Bay, Kisii, Nyamira, and Migori counties.
It is alleged that Magolo has been operating through an illegal channel of people who leak exam materials and, upon receiving them, he forwards them to his accomplices in the region.
The County Commissioner said they arrested the teacher after taking enough time to investigate and ascertain how he has been operating to circulate the examination materials.
The county commissioner appended that the suspect was first taken to Mbita Police Station before being taken to Homa Bay Police Station where he is being held for further investigation later which he will be arraigned in court.
However, it remains unclear if the exam materials he has been circulating are genuine or fake. Lilian warned teachers in the region against jeopardizing their integrity to perpetrate examination irregularities
