The Uganda National Examinations Body (UNEB) has reiterated the call for the establishment of a special court to handle all examination malpractice cases, aiming to ensure expeditious resolution.
Professor Celestino Obua, the new Board Chairperson, acknowledged that although stringent measures and penalties have been implemented through new laws to curb examination malpractice, there are still existing gaps that require attention.
Professor Obua says when suspects are apprehended, the process of pursuing their cases involves significant expenses and suffers numerous adjournments and delays. He believes that for the anti-examination malpractice measures to have a more significant impact, creating a specialized utility court, handling all cases in one place, would ensure a faster resolution.
