examinations
malpractice
during

The

possession

answered
examination
questions,
in
a
quest
to
send
to
some
candidates
writing
the

Council,
John
Kapi
told
3FM
on
HOT
EDITION
that
the
culprits
have
been
handed
over
to
the
police
for
investigation.
“We
have
had
a
good
start,
except
for
the
fact
that
some
5
invigilators
have
been
arrested
in
the
Ashanti
and
Bono
regions
for
possessing
already
answered
questions
to
want
to
give
to
their
students.
Some
of
them
screenshots
on
their
phones,
with
2
having
the
papers
themselves.
They
were
quickly
picked
by
the
NIB
personnel,
for
investigation
to
begin,”
he
explained.
The
Council
during
a
press
conference
on
Friday
July
5,
indicated
it
had
stepped
up
efforts
to
ensure
the
integrity
of
the
examinations,
including
a
security
team
from
the
Police,
NIB,
GES.
He
cautioned
students
and
invigilators
to
stay
off
any
engagements
that
will
mar
the
sanity
of
the
examination.
We
have
put
in
measures
to
ensure
there
are
no
cases
of
exam
malpractice
and
we
will
not
spare
anyone
who
falls
short
of
it.
