To counter early exposure, the Ministry has increased the number of examination centers, minimizing the distance required to distribute papers to schools.
With Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams scheduled to commence on Monday,
the authorities are taking steps to tighten exam security and deter any form of leakage or early exposure.
Kipsang emphasized the severity of exam leakage, stressing that what has been occurring is primarily early exposure rather than full-fledged leakage.
Meanwhile, Interior PS Raymond Omollo assured the public of exam continuity in areas like Kapindasum and Baringo despite recent incidents,
asserting that the government has managed the volatility in those regions.
