A KNEC supervisor in Kwale County says he was seized, beaten, and left for dead after turning down a bribe. Julius Ndurya is now recovering at home with head injuries and a broken hand. The incident happened in Kinango Sub-county on the evening of Wednesday, November 11, 2026.
Ndurya was overseeing the 2026 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams at Vigurungani Secondary School. Two days earlier, on Monday, November 9, someone offered him Sh50,000. The money was to look the other way on exam irregularities at the centre. He refused.
Ndurya says he also confiscated papers that a teacher had smuggled into an exam room. He locked them away as evidence. The papers later vanished from custody.
According to Ndurya, his attackers grabbed him in the Bang’a area and drove him to Vigurungani. They demanded to know why he had stopped candidates from copying. They also warned that he would be killed.
Boda boda riders eventually found him and carried him to Kinango Hospital. He stayed there for two days before going home. Coast Times Digital carried the account.
Radio station KBC reports that Form Four candidates are suspected of involvement. Police at Kinango have received the complaint. Ndurya says he is afraid for his life and will not return to the school to finish supervising the exams.
