The KCSE candidates who are involved in cheating will not get their results, Education CS George Magoha has said.
This follows reports that some parents in Migori, Kisii and Homa Bay have collected massive money to pay examination officers to aide in cheating.
Magoha said those behind the scheme have identified the supervisor to be paid Sh120,000, invigilator Sh60,000 and security officer Sh40,000.
He, however, warned that they taken action and those in exam malpractice will face the full force of the law.
Magoha told the candidates not to allow anybody to engage them into irregularities.
"You should not be cheated by adults who are not intelligent. Never say that you were not warned," the CS said.
He told the students to resist "help from hell" instead from Heaven.
Magoha said that it was regrettable that some parents collect massive amount of money to pay for exams.
"I thought we've moved away from this kind of acts. Stern action will be taken," he added.

"In same cases, they have identify homes next to examination centres to carry out malpractice," Magoha said.
Magoha said that majority of the country are ready for exams.
