TSC suspends Nyambaria High School principal over KCSE exams cheating

Thursday, November 9, 2023

Charles Onyari, the principal of Nyambaria High School, has been suspended as a centre manager in the present Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams.

The unexpected top performer in the 2022 examinations was Nyambaria High School in Nyamira County.

The suspension was imposed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) on the suggestion of the Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec), according to a senior official who declined to be named.

According to The Nation, Mr Onyari has only been suspended as the manager of the center, not as the head of the school.

He is said to have been involved in “facilitating examination irregularities” at the school.

“We want to end this impunity as soon as possible,” the official said.

The sub-county director of education in Manga, Nyamira County, has also been suspended over the same allegations.
