The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has announced the indictment of two officials from the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) on multiple corruption charges.
Issa Kamara, Chief Examiner, and Ibrahim Kamara, Assistant Examiner, are facing a total of eleven counts related to examination malpractice.
According to a press release issued by the ACC today, April 9, 2025, Issa Kamara has been indicted on six counts, while Ibrahim Kamara faces five counts.
The charges include one count each of Abuse of Office, Abuse of Position, Using Office for Advantage, Conspiracy to Commit a Corruption Offence, and Academic Malpractice, all contrary to the Anti-Corruption Act of 2008 as amended in 2019. Issa Kamara also faces an additional count of Influencing a Public Officer.
The ACC alleges that both Issa Kamara and Ibrahim Kamara improperly used their positions to confer an advantage on Foday Fasuluku Mansaray, a candidate in the May/June 2024 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE), thereby engaging in academic malpractice.
The indictment further details an incident in August 2024, where Issa Kamara allegedly retrieved an examination script belonging to his nephew and handed it over to Ibrahim Kamara. It is alleged that Ibrahim Kamara then answered some of the questions on the script before returning it to be mixed with other scripts for marking.
But I told u early on my previous comment that WASSEC they are the curse of a lot of drop out in Sierra Leone
But we are waiting fr they day of the exam to protests for our right last year they did the same for them to make money but we will not allow them
Examination malpractice has become norms in our country. Top WACE officials that are SUPPOSE to be figure heads of integrity, they have become the starter of malpractice for the students, what a shame!!!!.
85% of WASSCE students depend on exams malpractice.
