Subsection 2 of the same section provides that any person who, wilfully or negligently assists, or causes any candidate to obtain, or gain unauthorized possession of an examination paper, material or information or any part of an examination paper, commits an offence, and on conviction, will be liable to a fine not exceeding two thousand currency points or a term of imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or both.

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

Also, Section 26 provides that teachers, invigilators, scouts or any other persons who assist candidates to cheat, who negligently allow, or fail to stop unauthorised assistance to candidates are liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding one thousand currency points or 5 years in prison or both.

The police spokesperson SCP Fred Enanga said police and other sister agencies are deploying over 1,000 officers to assist in policing of UNEB exams.

“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.”
