Kenya dissolves exam board for cheating, arrests to follow

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The Kenyan government on Thursday dissolved the national examination board and will arrest its members after they were implicated in widespread cheating on the university entrance exams, officials said.

The cheating scandal comes as Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta is in the midst of a high profile campaign to combat the corruption endemic in government and society where an estimated $6 billion is lost to graft annually.
