Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i prayed for KCPE Candidates ahead of the tough Mathematics paper on Tuesday morning.
Matiang’i was at Gilgil in Nakuru County to supervise the opening of the exam containers early in the morning. He assured parents that security had been beefed up across the country to ensure the exercise is conducted smoothly.

But it seems the CS who is a staunch Adventist, was moved by his Christian values to pray for the young ones as they hope for excellent results.

The CS said that every candidate will sit for exams including those in hospitals. He said 10 helicopters are on standby to take papers to areas affected by floods.
