A Kenyan police officer has warmed hearts after he was spotted helping a Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) candidate take care of her baby as she sat for the national tests.
The KCPE exams kicked off on Monday, March 22, and several cases of pupils giving birth or sitting for the papers while expectant have been reported.
In the heartwarming video shared by Inooro TV, the policeman was seen cuddling the little child who was covered in a leso as the mother wrote her final paper in the exam room.

One of the teachers of the school said the law enforcer had seemingly fallen in love with the baby as he willingly and lovingly babysat and with so much ease.
"He fell in love with this baby because he has been it and so proud of it. This is also building self-esteem to this mother who became expectant," the teacher said.
This happened as KCPE candidates concluded their papers on Wednesday, March 24, after the three-day examination period.
Briefly.co.za previously reported on another inspiring story. Moms can do anything and one woman, Brianna Hill, is proof of it. The young woman was on her way to become an attorney and she only needed to pass the bar exam - which is notoriously difficult.
However, at the time Brianna wrote the difficult test (which is divided into four 90-minute sections spread over two days), she went into labour.
However, the dedicated new mother did not let giving birth stand in her way of achieving her dreams. She completed the rest of the sections in the hospital and nursed her newborn during the breaks.
