Such claims are fraudulent,\u201d Ogamba stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CS urged anyone with information about individuals selling purported advance examination papers to report them to the Ministry of Education and other relevant authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also warned that the government would take firm action against examination malpractice, calling on examination centre managers, supervisors, invigilators and other officials to uphold integrity throughout the assessment period. &lt;Cite refs={[&#8220;turn917879view0&#8243;,&#8221;turn917879search5&#8221;]}\/&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The warning comes amid concerns about fraudsters targeting families eager to help their children perform well in national assessments. Some scammers use social media and messaging platforms to advertise papers they claim are genuine, often demanding payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents and learners are therefore advised to rely on official communication from the Ministry of Education and the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), rather than risk losing money to people promising leaked papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government says measures have been put in place to protect examination materials and ensure the assessments are conducted securely and fairly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos Ogamba has cautioned parents and learners against fraudsters claiming to have access to national examination papers before they are administered.
