Former Merishaw School principal David Gideon Kariuki and the school’s examination hall operator Alex Kasaine Kataiyo were yesterday arraigned before a Nairobi court in connection with the alleged 2025 KCSE examination malpractice at the institution.

The two appeared before Milimani Chief Magistrate Daisy Mutai but did not take a plea on two criminal charges of unlawfully disclosing the content of an examination paper to candidates at Merishaw High School, and conspiracy to commit a felony.

However, no plea was taken after the prosecution asked the court to defer the matter, citing an ongoing review of the charges by Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Ingonga.
