The Kenya National Examinations Council, Knec, on Tuesday suspended Mr Charles Onyari, the Principal of Nyambaria High School, from his role as the center manager for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE).
The suspension of the high school principal is a result of ongoing investigations into alleged irregularities related to the KCSE examination.
A teacher from the school who sought anonymity confirmed this development when speaking with media, he further refrained from sharing further details about the incident.
“The situation did not disrupt the exams. However, we do not yet have complete information regarding the reasons behind the Principal’s suspension,” stated the teacher.
The School, located in Nyamira County, gained widespread attention when it achieved the top position in the 2022 KCSE examination with an impressive mean score of 10.89.
Other schools on Knec’s radar over exam malpractices include:
- Gekano Boys in Nyamira County,
- Sironga Girls in Nyamira County,
