Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection Alfred Mutua has warned of scammers targeting Kenyans who attended Qatar job interviews at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
This comes after a section of Kenyans, who attended the interviews, started receiving messages inviting them to collect their appointment letters.
“Successful candidates from the Qatar interviews will be notified by phone call, not SMS. Appointment letters will be available for collection only at KICC,” Mutua stated.
The CS has promised that the suspected con artists are currently being pursued by the authorities to bring them to book.
“Security agencies are actively pursuing the authors and publishers of the above and other similar misleading and false information intended to scam unsuspecting Kenyans. Please remain cautious of potential con artists,” he added.
“A Qatari company, in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, is in Nairobi conducting interviews for various job opportunities over the next two days,” Mutua announced.
The results of the interviews are yet to be released.
