Beware of fraudsters! Police warn Kenyans

Kenyan police have dismissed a notice claiming that they are recruiting new officers.

Through their official Facebook page, the police alerted the general public that they have received reports of the existence of a post attributed to the National Police Service.

They warned that imposters are targeting unsuspecting Kenyans and extorting money from them.

“The National Police Service wishes to inform the general public that we have not announced any recruitment dates. When recruiting, we publicize the exercise via major dailies, radio stations, television and also share the same information on our website and social media accounts/pages.

“We wish to caution the public that we have not announced any recruitment dates and no fee is required for one to be recruited into the service. Appropriate action will be taken to ensure that the culprits are brought to book,” the post reads.

This was in reference to a Facebook post by one Robin Chirchir Chirchir whose profile shows that he works for the Kenya Defense Forces.

Fraudsters have on several occasions attempted and sometimes succeeded in defrauding Kenyans seeking employment.

In March, the extent of deception in recruitment of military personnel was exposed after 132 people were arrested for being in possession of fake recruitment letters.
