Government issue clarification on mass recruitment for SHA vacancies
The Ministry of Health flags as fake mass recruitment for SHA vacancies
The Ministry of Health flags as fake mass recruitment for SHA vacancies.
The Ministry of Health through the Social Health Authority (SHA) on Sunday flagged a fake job alert purporting to recruit en masse for vacancies in the medical industry.
Through its official X handle, SHA dismissed the poster as fake effectively warning members of the public to beware of the misleading information.
The poster bearing all the brand colours of SHA and the seal of the government was soliciting applicants to make applications for various job openings.
In taming the spread of the fake advert, Kenyans were encouraged to desist from sharing the poster any further.
Positions in 28 different categories were advertised ranging from human resource officers, social workers, office staffers, and cooks among others.
Applicants were required to have a minimum of a certificate from a respected University. The fake poster directed interested job seekers to submit their applications by the close of business on November 24, 2024.
The fake poster was impersonating SHA which is currently the health provider in Kenya established under section under act 23 of the Kenyan Constitution and designed to provide health care facilities in Kenya.
In the advert, all jobs were advertised as permanent and pensionable except interns further luring desperate seekers.
Among the qualifications included were one must be a Kenyan citizen of 18 years and be of sound mind.

“Apply for one position to avoid disqualification,” read the fake poster adding that applicants must possess KRA, SHA, NSSF, and identification card.
On most occasions, scammers come up with fake adverts to swindle Kenyans of their hard-earned money through fees and other assortment of consultations.
Notably, fraudsters occasionally target prestigious institutions with a stellar reputation such as public institutions and parastatals to con unsuspecting Kenyans.
The fake poster comes as there has been a spike in fake news especially in public institutions especially targeting users of the internet. Barely a week later, on November 20, the National Police Service (NPS) denied a notice circulating on social media purporting to show that the police would not allow any protests in Nairobi on Thursday.
In a post on their X account, the police clarified to the public that the statement was fiction, flagging it as fake.
