KCSE Candidate who Revealed Plot to Kill President Kenyatta in an Exam Paper Arrested

Police have arrested a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) candidate who allegedly wrote about a plot to kill President Kenyatta in one of his exam papers.
The student from Elimu Bora Secondary School in Mandera East revealed the plot in his English Paper One (functional skills) answer sheet.
The Star reports that the said student also said he would kill Garissa Township Member of Parliament and Leader of Majority in the National Assembly, Aden Duale.
The examiners are said to have come across the student's sheet while arranging papers ahead of commencement of marking.
The student was arraigned before Mandera resident magistrate Duncan Mtai who directed a mental assessment be carried out on him at the county hospital.
He will return to the court on Monday when the judge is expected to issue a ruling on whether police will continue to detain him pending conclusion of investigations.
This incident comes days after eight Ambira High School students who were caught on camera insulting Cabinet Secretaries Fred Matiang'i (Interior) and Amina Mohamed (Education) as well as confessing to have cheated in KCSE exam were arrested.
The eight were arrested after a video of them making the confession went viral on social media.
