| Collusion during exam |
A student in his first year at a local university was busted
by an invigilating lecturer cheating in exam but did the unthinkable; he
swallowed the paper he had jotted down the notes popularly known as mwakenya.
The student who reads for a business course then rose from his desk and left the
exam room in a huff.
The lecturer was left staring
at the student’s answer book and question paper. The lecturer then took the two
booklets and checked them against the register which he crossed the name of the
offending student.
Colleagues of the said students
were left shaken as some are reported to have stashed unauthorised papers on
their persons. Others had scribbled the walls in a bid to pass the proverbial
40 mark point.
In a strange twist of fate the
student continued to take other exams yet he had not completed the one he was
caught attempting to copy.
When a comrade is caught
cheating in exams the penalty is expulsion from the university. Comrades dread the powerful University Senate
that spells doom to the destiny of confirmed exam cheats. Further the name of the dishonest student is
circulated both in local and international institutions of higher learning circles
to prevent the student from seeking education elsewhere.
A comrade who declined to be
named and is also a close friend of a student who was expelled in second year
in a separate case said cheating is a sign of a rotten society that rewards
short cuts and abhors hard work.
By the time of going to press
the student who swallowed evidence had not responded to this blog’s messages.
His fate hangs in the balance but one thing is sure; he may go down the dreaded
route of expulsion depending on how he plays his cards.
