    19 people, including Examination centre managers, have been arrested countrywide over examination irregularities in the ongoing Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education. A special police unit deployed to curb cases of exam cheating also arrested five impostors writing exams for candidates at two centres in Nairobi and Kericho. The Kenya National Examinations Council also nabbed 17 mobile phones from students sitting for their KCSE examinations in two separate incidents in Moyale and Saku constituencies in Marsabit County. The second day of the KCSE exams was marred by widespread irregularities, even as the government clarified that examinations will go on in the affected schools, as culprits face prosecution.
