The Kenya Ports Authority has today issued a statement to warn Kenyans of conmen who pose using their names.

The information was shared through their official twitter page after they were made aware of conmen who invite unsuspecting job seekers for employment and ask them to pay.

Here is the full statement

The attention of the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Management has been drawn to the actions of some fraudsters who are inviting unsuspecting job seekers for employment at the Authority. The deceitful advert targeting the youth has been circulated via social media and other online platforms.

We wish to clarify that KPA has a clear recruitment policy which includes publishing of vacancies in the mainstream newspapers and on the KPA website www.kpa.co.ke.Thereafter, formal communication on interviews for shortlisted applicants is undertaken. It should also be noted that the Authority has official domain email addresses which are on our website and not the gmail address indicated in the fake advert. Further, it should be noted that all recruitment activities in KPA are devoid of any payments.

Members of the public are therefore advised to ignore the messages circulating on social media and other online platforms purporting that KPA has advertised 140 vacancies targeting diploma and degree holders. This is a hoax. We therefore advise members of the public to beware of such conmen/fraudsters and to immediately report any such incidents to the Authority or the nearest Police Station.

KPA is committed to best practice and the principles of transparency and equal employment opportunities to all, when such opportunities arise, as enunciated in the Constitution of Kenya.
