“EXAMINATION IRREGULARITIES”
Ahead of the 2021 KCSE, the Government heightened measures meant to pre-empt any forms of cheating through the combined efforts of all the members of the Multi-Agency Team.
The result of this enhanced” “vigilance was that nearly all the cases of cheating that would have occurred were prevented. The country would bear me witness that many mobile phones that would have been used to relay pre- exposed examination materials were confiscated before they could be used.
However, there were 441 cases reported in the 2021 KCS Examination and one case of a centre with all the results withheld.
I wish to categorically state that KNEC will not have any mercy on examination offenders who must be dealt with decisively.
Consequently, examination results of all the 441 cases have been cancelled as follows:”
| Offence | 2021 | 2020 |
| Unauthorised materials | 203 | 211 |
| Mobile phones | 223 | 45 |
| Impersonation | 08 | 01 |
| Collusion | 06 | 29 |
| Causing disturbance in examination room | 01 | 1 |
| Total | 441 | 287 |
