The 27 will face disciplinary action from their employer, the Teachers Service Commission.
37 civilians were also arrested for engaging in the irregularities while 53 mobile phones were confiscated in the hands of candidates.
“As we speak, security agencies are busy conducting thorough forensic investigations to find out if the gadgets were used to aid any form of cheating,” CS Magoha explained.
In the meantime, the Form I selection process is set to be launched soon with Prof Magoha warning those he claims are colluding to deny poor students slots in top-ranking schools in the country.
The Government has contracted Equity Group Foundation to identify needy students who will qualify for the 18 thousand scholarships by the government.
