Two boys from the Nyamagwa Boys High School, Kisii County were found dressed as girls in the dormitory of a neighbouring girls school.

The two were sent away from the school to sit for their final papers from home.

Kisii County Education Director Dr William Surgut confirmed the incident, reporting that the students were caught by security guards.

"The administration will take disciplinary action as they sit for their examinations," he stated.

Kisii Police Coordinator Benard Muli conveyed that they would be sent home because the misdemeanor did not amount to an exam irregularity.
