The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) confirmed that Nicodemus Mutuku, a long-serving examiner, died on Monday morning at the marking centre where he had been stationed since November 7.
KNEC Chief Executive Officer David Njengere announced the incident in a statement, noting that Mutuku had been actively marking the Creative Arts and Sports paper as a team leader before his sudden death.
Njengere said Mutuku had played a key role in the month-long marking exercise, which started earlier this month, and had shown full commitment to the process until his final moments.
