Three teachers, from the districts of Mityana, Kampala, and Wakiso have been arraigned with two counts of examination malpractice and conspiracy.  

The trio; Samuel Kironde, Godfrey Ssemugga and Dan Kafeero, faced the Jinja Grade One Magistrate's court, together with a businessman, Hakim Ssenyunja with whom they reportedly conspired to leak the 2018 Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE).

The charge reports that between November 4 and November 6, 2018, Kironde and Ssemugga, being the district examination monitors and Uganda National Examinations Board (UNEB) scouts, willfully contravened UNEB’s code of conduct and disclosed examination content to, Kafeero and Ssenyunja, who in turn sold them to different schools within Buyende and Kamuli districts.

It is also reported that the trio conspired to commit a misdemeanour when they shared the contents of the PLE papers contrary to section 391 of the penal code act.

The trio pleaded not guilty to the charges and sought bail.

Meanwhile, presiding magistrate Amon Mugezi advised them to apply for bail within Kamuli magisterial area, the court jurisdiction where the reported crimes were committed.

They have been remanded to Kirinya prison until June 12, from where they will face Kamuli Grade One Magistrate's court.
