“The Board’s decision to withhold the results of this category of candidates to send a clear message that those who engage in such activities are complicit in wrongdoing, regardless of whether the efforts succeed or fail,” he said.
He also reported challenges with biometric verification, with 2,157 candidates failing to confirm their candidature due to failed biometric authentication.
“There was the initial report from registration centres of 578 candidates whose biometric details were allegedly not capturable during the registration for whom the Board created another opportunity.
“Many of them were eventually successfully captured and verified for registration and were able to sit the examination without any hindrances. Only 69 candidates were granted exemption from the biometric verification process.
He added that investigations are ongoing, and those found not to be at fault would be rescheduled to sit the examination.
“A total of 3,656 candidates fall within this category. Consequently, the results of the candidates have been withheld,” he said.
