Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has said the government will deploy hi-tech security during the national examinations to curb irregularities.

The CS warned that stern action will be taken against anyone who will be found engaging in exam malpractices and those aiding the practice will barred from operating within the education sector.

“If you are found engaging in any exam malpractices, this time the law will take its course and you will be seriously penalised. Once we catch you in exam malpractices, you will never again be allowed to come back and work in the education sector,” he said.

He told stakeholders who will be involved in the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examination (KCSE) to ensure exam integrity.
