A secondary school teacher arrested in Homa Bay County over exam cheating is to remain in custody for four more days pending police investigations.
The Homa Bay court ordered the 32-year-old tutor, Calvin Magolo to be remanded for 4 more days for investigations to be completed.
Magolo is suspected to be part of a syndicate behind leakages of the ongoing Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in Nyanza region.

Homa Bay Sub-County Directorate of Criminal Investigations Monica Berege said that they requested for more time for the suspect to give them more information on the people he has been conspiring with on exam leakages before being arraigned in court.
