“In both cases, this penalty will apply, whether the examination paper, examination material, or information is genuine or not,” Odongo warned.

“Our teams shall be actively involved in the safe protection, transportation, storage and delivery of all examination materials in coordination with the UNEB team from UNEB,” he said.

Enanga said that police have not registered any incident or breach in the exam materials and no leakage of examination materials has been recorded. He assured the public of safety and security during national exams exercise.

“We want to inform the public and school proprietors do not have any threats, acts of sabotage and vulnerabilities that may negatively impact the exams,” Enanga said.

“In case of any vulnerabilities and threats, we have counter measures that are in place such as our territorial commanders working with UNEB and heads of centres have mapped out schools and UNEB centres and created routes counter any potential breaches of security and any destructive behaviors like trespass, noise pollution.”
