Tension has gripped Moyale after stray bullets fired from neighbouring Ethiopia hit Sessi Mixed Secondary School. According to People Daily Kenya, Moyale Deputy County Commissioner Benedict Munywoki confirmed that Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidates from Sessi Mixed Secondary School and St Mary’s Mixed Secondary School have been relocated to safer locations.

Speaking Monday after witnessing the opening of a Kenya National Examinations Council container in Nyamira County, Ogamba identified mobile phones, impersonation, collusion, and unauthorized materials as major threats to exam credibility.
He stated that the government has strengthened security around examination materials to minimize leakages, but cautioned that vigilance is required to prevent malpractice.
