More than 1,000 candidates will have KCSE results cancelled due to cheating. There were 1,171 cheating candidates last year down from 1,419 in 2008 with Magena Secondary School in Gucha District topping the list with 180 cheating cases.

Exam cheats have refused to go away despite stringent mechanisms employed by the Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) to curb the vice. Candidates smuggled notes into exam rooms, others used mobile phones to cheat and unscrupulous traders tried to make a kill by selling fake KCSE papers to unsuspecting students and parents. Kodero Bara Secondary School in Rongo had 89 cheating cases followed by Kaplong Girls Secondary School in Sotik with 78 cases.
