Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers attached to KNEC, jointly with their Nakuru counterparts, have arrested one of the country’s most sought after man allegedly involved in the 2024 KCSE examination malpractices.
The suspect, Collins Kipchumba Kemboi, was arrested on Wednesday within Kiamunyi area of Nakuru County.
The detectives said the 23-year old, who had become a nightmare to KNEC, was operating under the guise of Dorothy Jerop Kiprono. By the time of his arrest he had mobilized a following of over 78,000 exam leakage seekers in his Telegram account and over 8,500 in his WhatsApp groups.
“The detectives had no business turning the house upside down in search for evidence as Kemboi was caught pants down with his tools of trade right on the table,” DCI indicated in a statement.
