Especially ALP some of them were unable even to identify their index number but it is we as the invigilators to assist, some of the papers which were send some questioners were missing that is one of the challenge we face especially this morning the second session of this examination there were some pages missing we have to look around for some of the papers which are said to extra we have to pull then we have to fix so that the candidates have to continue’, he notes.
Obwaha says the exams’ papers should be well edited before printing out.
‘The examination Center is to edit the papers properly before they are packed in that is the best way the envelop and before even producing they should edit because we get some questions they are wrong so we have to correct by ourselves by consulting them that this statement is not correct there is a mistake that was wrong in this place as a center of join examination’, he complains.
