An array of rules aimed at governing how form four exams are marked are out with the express aim of dealing with cheating and collusion.

This comes as the marking of 2017 KCSE exam papers continues so that results are made public before the new year.

Centers, where the papers are being marked, have been consolidated with a view to expediting the marking process.

Those marking will not be allowed to take marking schemes and materials from the designated marking rooms or centres.

Bringing unauthorised paraphernalia into the centres has been criminalised.

''Any examiner who contravenes these regulations will be summarily dismissed,'' the acting chief executive of Knec has warned.

The use of communication gadgets such as mobile phones has also been banned from the marking centres.
