Three people have been arrested for aiding cheating of the KCSE exams in Kericho.
The three; two chemistry teachers and a lab technician are helping police with investigations and are expected in court.
They were arrested on Friday after being found in possession of mobile phones containing this year's Chemistry practical paper.
Kericho county commissioner Kamau Karungo said the trio are from Kipkebur Secondary School in Sigowet, Soin constituency.
The teachers were identified as Leonard Korir, 28, and Collins Yegon Cheruiyot, 27. The lab technician is Erick Kiplangat, 30.
Schools' principal Amos Kirwa also recorded a statement with Sondu police and was later released.
Cases of exam irregularities continue to mar the test with varsity students arrested last week for impersonation.
Education CS George Magoha said he had allowed two students found with mobile phones on day one of the test to continue with the exam.
He however said anyone found aiding or cheating will carry their own cross.
“Those who have attempted to breach the sanctity of our examinations, we have arrested them. They will face the full force of the law and have themselves to blame,” Magoha said at Alliance High School on Friday.
