The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Renson Ingonga, is pushing for harsh bond terms by courts while issuing a stern warning to individuals planning to engage in examination malpractice as the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations kicked off across the country on Monday.

Speaking at Kakamega School, where he witnessed the opening of the English Composition paper, Ingonga said the government would not tolerate any form of cheating and promised tough legal action against offenders.
