You have probably come across the alleged good news perhaps even penned down an innocent application letter for the sweet position.
Well be informed as The Kenya National Bureau of statistics has distanced from a fake job advert that has been circulating on social media platforms calling for applications from census enumerators.
According to a circular by KNBS, all recruitments are coordinated by Human Resource Management and Development office in Nairobi.
It has further notified the public to verify job advertisements from the institution’s official platforms. “All KNBS job advertisements are done through the daily newspapers, uploaded on our website,www.knbs.or.ke, and a link sent to the official social media site,” read part of the circular.
“The recruitment processes are free, fair and do not involve exchange of money or favors of any kind. Members of the public are therefore advised not to send any money for employment,” it said.
The Kenyan Census is one of the most intensive state jobs that requires a lot of manpower to do the counting. As such, it is expected that there will be openings for census jobs.
“While this is a much-anticipated opportunity for many unemployed Kenyans, it should be noted that the Bureau has not yet announced any job openings.
As such, people should remain vigilant of conmen on social media and the internet asking Kenyans for money so they can be given the jobs. KNBS has not announced any census jobs yet,” their site states.
