Kenya Railways has come out to warn Kenyans that there aren’t any new hirings at the moment contrary to an advert that has been doing rounds on social media for the last couple of days announcing over 300 vacancies at the institution.
An advert has been advertising positions available for cleaners, shop attendants, passangers stewards, guards, storekeepers, station attendants among others but the parastatal now says that these are conmen planning to defraud innocent Kenyans.
Good-morning,
Please note that WE ARE NOT HIRING at the moment.

This is not the first time this has happened as another government insitution the Youth Development Fund was recently invaded by conmen through its official social media pages take over courtesy of youthful Owen. The guy is allegedly called Owen Kimurgor and has been conning desperate Kenyans.
Well, apparently, a huge number of Kenyans have falling prey to the guy who is making his cool millions from jobless Kenyans who wish to get the money from the government agency and start their own enterprise soon. So, how doe it happen????
“You log in to the page. You try to apply the loan. You’re told to first deposit Kshs 270. After depositing,he blocks you,” commented an alleged victim who is in the know about the tactics used by the conman online.
“It has come to our attention that fraudulent persons have created a facebook page “Uwezo Fund Loans online” with the intention of defrauding innocent Kenyans. Uwezo Fund is a Government revolving Fund that issues loans to GROUPS of Youth, Women and Persons with Disabilities at the Constituency level where the groups are based. The Uwezo Fund Constituency Committees vet and recommend group the groups to the Board. The loans are interest free and there is no processing fees.” read a statement from the agency.
