The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives have arrested a man suspected of being behind a Telegram group that distributed leaked KCSE examination material to parents and students.

According to DCI, after a surveillance operation, Stephen Nyang'au Mbeche was nabbed by detectives attached to the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and their Masaba North counterparts.

Mbeche is said to have created the group named "KCSE 2024 Leakage Group" where he distributed examination papers while exploiting candidates and parents.

The group had garnered 802 members, and the suspect asked for upfront payment to distribute the papers.



Further, DCI revealed that a search at Mbeche's premises resulted in the seizure of a mobile phone and a laptop, the supposed tools of the trade he used.

The suspect is being processed for prosecution.
