How three varsity students secured millions in KCSE ‘leakage’ scam
Three students from Egerton University were on Monday arraigned in court for obtaining millions of shillings from parents and KCSE candidates in the pretext that they would sell them examination materials for the forthcoming national examinations.
Detectives attached to the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) launched investigations into the scam last week and have so far arrested the three who are based at the university’s main campus in Njoro, Nakuru County.
Twenty-four-year-old Kelvin Anunda Mogaka, alias Prof Lenchodas, a fourth-year Bachelor of Science in Education Mathematics and Physics is said to be the mastermind of the syndicate
According to a statement by the DCI, Mogaka who lives large in a well-furnished apartment had created two telegram groups with over 13,000 followers, where he is believed to have obtained millions of shillings from parents, who parted with between KES 5,000 to KES 20,000 to help their children steal the KCSE exams.
“But the sleuths nipped their plans in the bud when they raided the suspect’s house and recovered dozens of SIM cards and identity cards that the suspect had used to open fraudulent MPESA and bank accounts where the received money would be deposited,” the DCI said in a statement.
The Directorate said in one of the accounts at Equity bank, Kisii branch about KES 2 Million was flagged by the detectives who also discovered that the suspect also operated a similar account at the Kisii KCB branch.
The Telegram groups contained instructions on how the payments would be made with members being cautioned to strictly follow the procedure to save time.
“Avoid many stories, all papers are available,” read one of the messages in the telegram group.
The suspect’s kin told detectives that Mogaka had earlier informed him that he hit the jackpot after a successful bet and would be sending him money to put up a house for him at their home in Mosocho, Nyamira county.
