On its X account on Friday, March 14, Kenya Power flagged as fake a circulating post claiming that the company was recruiting over 1,000 new employees.
According to the undated fake post, the power company was seeking 1,000 youths to train and absorb as employees.
Both graduates and non-graduates were allegedly eligible for the positions, with free meals and accommodation provided, according to the fake post.
However, the fake advert did not specify which positions were open for the 1,000 recruits.
"Kenya Power is looking for 1000 youths to train and also employ. Both graduate and not graduate. Free accommodation and meals," the fake post said.
"Apply and also share with others there might be someone who needs this opportunity," it stated.
The notice comes days after the power company also flagged as fake a circulating letter claiming that the power company was recruiting over 200 new employees.
Kenya Power, through its X account on Monday, February 3, dismissed an undated fake letter alleging that the company was inviting applications for 241 positions across 10 departments.
According to the fake letter, the positions included Maintenance Technicians, Electrical Technicians, Financial Accountants, Customer Care Representatives, Store Managers, Data Entry Clerks, Interns, Security Guards, Drivers, and Cleaners.
The fake letter further claimed that applicants were required to submit their applications through the company’s human resource office via email by February 28, 2025.
"The company is pleased to invite applications from qualified and interested Kenyans for the following vacancies across the country," it stated.
"Only shortlisted applicants shall be contacted. Shortlisting will be done on a rolling basis, and communication will be made through email," it added.
Following the letter, the power company emphasized the need for the public to remain vigilant and cautious of such fraudulent schemes.
