The two pleaded guilty before Kitui resident magistrate Johnstone Munguti.
The case will be mentioned on November 15, 2018.
KCSE will run from November 5 to November 30.
They were arrested on Wednesday night after allegedly forcing their way into a dormitory at Kyaani Girls Secondary School in Kitui.
Why do boys sneak into girls dormitories? The society right now is ratchet, the moral of the society is washed away. The school students know much than even you don’t imagine.
You remember the photos under #ifikiewazazi? It just gave us a snippet what we don’t know about our school children.
The suspects, both aged 18 years, are Form Four students from Kauma Boys Secondary School.
According to Kyaani Secondary School Principal Elizabeth Musyimi, she was alerted at around 11.45pm by the school guard who informed her of a commotion in the girls’ dormitory.
The suspects are said to have gained entry into the compound by cutting through a chain link fence and thereafter entering Upendo dormitory where all 47 Form Four candidates who are in school are housed.
According to the dormitory captain, the boys first threw stones on the roof of the dormitory causing panic, before making their way in.
However, as the men entered the dormitory the said dormitory captain summoned courage and coordinated the girls who, with the help of two watchmen, on duty overwhelmed and apprehended them,” said police in a statement.
The suspects are being held at Matinyani Police Station awaiting to be arraigned in court.
This is not the first time boys are sneaking into girls boys it is becoming a common trend right now in Kenya. The cause is yet to be established. Many girls schools are leaving in fear of being attacked and raped.
