Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>ICT Cabinet Secretary Eliud Owalo has said the ministry has not reported any cases of exam irregularities on social media.<\/p>\n

Owalo said the ministry has been keen on monitoring unusual activities that might lead to malpractice.<\/p>\n

“We have been monitoring platforms for the past two months to ensure there are no incidences of malpractice,” Owalo said.<\/p>\n

He spoke at the Dagoretti deputy county commissioner’s office on Tuesday, when he oversaw the opening of containers and distribution of exams in the subcounty.<\/p>\n

A week before the start of the national exams, a university student was trying to defraud Kenyans through social media.<\/p>\n

The student allegedly publicised the information through electronic media (Telegram) while operating as Professor David.<\/p>\n

Court heard that the accused committed the offence between November 1 and November 19 at an unknown location within the country.<\/p>\n

He has around 20,000 Telegram followers and was apprehended on November 19.<\/p>\n

Owalo is among government officials in the multi-agency team spearheading credible exams.<\/p>\n
