POLICE in Luanshya have arrested Patriotic Front (PF) Mpatamatu ward 22 councillor Amon Masala for alleged examination malpractices.
Copperbelt Province acting commissioner of police Joyce Kasosa confirmed in an interview in Ndola on Monday that Masala, 40, of house number 533 Section 24, Mpatamatu in Luanshya, was arrested on Sunday around 15:00 hours.
Ms Kasosa said Masala was arrested at Mpatamatu market when he attempted to photocopy Grade 12 examination papers for mathematics, physics and chemistry.
She also said police confiscated the photocopier which was being used to photocopy the examination papers.
“Masala is in police custody and the photocopier was also confiscated. We have instituted investigations into the matter,” Ms Kasosa said.
She warned that police will not hesitate to arrest individuals engaging in examination malpractices.
Ms Kasosa said police on the Copperbelt are proactively monitoring all towns in the region to curb examination malpractices.
“We want to ensure that all the culprits are brought to book because examination malpractices are a serious offence,” Ms Kasosa said.
On Saturday, five teachers in Kalulushi along with 12 pupils from various schools in Kitwe were arrested for alleged examination malpractices.

PF Kolwestans they have now graduated to stealing examinations! These criminals!
Am sure Ukwa sent them, am told him too has never finished G12.
For the past 50 years there has been no way the government and ministry of education could have come up with a solution to avoid malpractices by these hungry tearchers? Why not secure these important documents in the hand of only those sworn to secrecy, i mean just a number of them so that when any hickups occurs you immediately know who the culprit is. The other alternative among others would have been keeping these documents in Lusaka until the day before the exams where supervises could only lay eyes on them the same day and time as those taking the exams. I believe there are several ways to ease and erase this problem but everyone has given a blind eye which is shocking, am dismayed that it has taken this long without any proper attention or conclusion given for such an important task.
And they stick ”Examination Malpractice Free” posters.
Good, these ar pipo who ar quick 2 condem teachers. Let him go in ed tel us the source. Shame ba councillor na boza yanu. Veeery myopic.

We should be truthful when reporting, 5 teachers were arrested in Kitwe then 3 other person in Luanshya for exam malpractices.

There is no exam but revision people already know what they will write a week before the exam. Shame
