Kenya's Education Cabinet Secretary, Julius Migos, has assured that cheating cases in the ongoing Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams will be dealt with case-by-case rather than penalizing entire schools.

Speaking from the Lang'ata Sub-County Headquarters on Monday, Migos stated that the Ministry will focus on the individuals involved in malpractice to protect students and institutions from unfair repercussions.

"We will make sure that anyone found interfering with exams, as seen in recent incidents like the one in Homa Bay, will be held accountable," Migos said.
