Two KCSE candidates found with mobile phones in school are set to be arraigned in court on Monday over cheating.
This will bring to six the number of exam irregularity cases reported and taken to court since the beginning of the national exams this year.
One of them will be charged in Nairobi while the other will be arraigned in Wajir.
In a statement on Sunday, KNEC chairman George Magoha said the other cases involve exam centre managers and officials.
He said the accused tried to open examination papers before the stipulated time.
"Fortunately, all the cases were discovered and nipped in the bud before the affected examination questions could be relayed to candidates," Magoha said.
Last year, there were no exam irregularities reported.
