Widespread Exams Cheating in North Eastern

[upepo]

Exams cheating in North Eastern has apparently upgraded from a cottage industry to full-scale manufacturing. Cheating has always existed, of course, but the current levels are so high that even local residents are looking around and asking, “Surely, this can’t be normal.”

There are growing complaints about students enthusiastically picking up county scholarships, only to quietly drop out of university a few semesters later. Lecturers are left scratching their heads when they meet straight-A students who struggle to write a sentence that survives punctuation.

Even more puzzling is the mystery of students who scored A’s and B’s across the board but somehow managed to land solid D’s in English and Kiswahili. The most popular theory? The generous “helpers” who assisted with other subjects simply couldn’t write compositions for everyone—there are limits, after all, even in teamwork.

At this rate, our education sector isn’t just borrowing ideas from abroad; it’s speeding down the Indian route with the accelerator firmly pressed to the floor. Below is the facebook link to a blogger who is sparing no effort to unearth the malpractice. He is from the region and so he has credible contacts. https://web.facebook.com/mzeemtiaji.mhustler

If you are an exam supervisor and you don't abet in cheating, you get killed

 

[Tommy Kwesule.]

To me, Kenya’s North Eastern region feels similar to Israel in that it seems to benefit from a sense of collective guilt or historical remorse from the rest of the country, especially the government. Because of this, it often looks like the region is given too much leniency or special treatment, with problematic behavior and governance failures not being challenged as strongly as they should be. This kind of dynamic makes accountability harder and feeds the idea that past grievances can be used to excuse present-day actions, even while the region presents itself as working toward development and improvement.

These people only practise Islam to make themselves feel superior to those of other beliefs.

“Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due.”
(Qur’an 4:58)

“O you who believe, fear Allah and be with those who are truthful.”
(Qur’an 9:119)

“O you who believe, do not betray Allah and the Messenger, nor betray your trusts while you know.”
(Qur’an 8:27)

“Whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.”
(Qur’an 99:7–8)

“Do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right.”
(Qur’an 17:33)

It has been an open secret for too long, had a guy in high school who scored a C- in KCSE, vile wamesema hapo juu, kizungu hawezi ongea, sciences wacha tu. Went back to a home school, repeated, next time we meet ako med school pale Chiromo. I remember thinking if I meet him later as a doctor I'm not letting him treat me.
Many years later pale Aga Khan a pediatrician with his first name is assigned to my son, nikaingia speedy kuhakikisha its not my old friend, jangili alikuwa nywele ngumu sijui imetoa wapi jina Bashir.
