Narok County Women Representative Rebecca Tonkei has strongly condemned the presence of armed police officers in national examination rooms, calling it intimidating and traumatic for students.

• Rebecca Tonkei, also a member of the National Committee on Education, criticized the Kenya National Examination Council for "terrorising students and teachers."
• The complaint was made during the launch of a Ksh14 million dormitory at Maasai Girls Secondary School in Narok South.
• Armed police are typically deployed to prevent cheating and secure exam materials, but Tonkei argues their presence with guns negatively impacts candidates.
• Similar calls to remove police from exam rooms were made in 2024 by then-Education PS Belio Kipsang, who stated it was time to let children "be children."
