Judiciary cautions public against an event seeking Sh 65,000 for every person attending
The Kenyan judiciary has cautioned the public against an event seeking an audience for engagements on the country’s labour.
A poster went round inviting members of the public to purportedly discuss the state of labour relations in Kenya.
Those willing to attend were required to pay a Sh 65,000 entry fee per person.
In its notice to the public, the judiciary flagged the event as fake.
The third arm of government explained that it was associated with the event organisers and that it was a scheme to rob Kenyans of their money.
“This is a scam. Judiciary not associated,” the judiciary’s tweet read.
In the recent past, independent and government agencies have been grappling with fake advertisements carrying offers and job openings targeting the unsuspecting public.
A few days back, the Social Health Authority (SHA) moved swiftly to clarify a circulating job advertisement for human resource officers and other positions.
The widely shared notice, which appears to be an official job vacancy announcement from SHA, lists 28 different positions.
The notice, complete with the SHA logo and the coat of arms, was formatted to resemble a legitimate government document.
The notice falsely claimed all positions were permanent and pensionable, except internships and attachments.
However, SHA has labelled the notice as fake, suggesting that the advertisement did not originate from their office, and urged the public to disregard it.
Earlier, the National Police Service (NPS) issued a warning debunking a circulated document purporting to announce a new round of police constable recruitment.

In a statement on Saturday, April 12, the NPS labelled the recruitment notice as fake, warning Kenyans not to fall victim to misinformation and potential scams.
The image, which resembled an official NPS notice, outlines supposed entry requirements, recruitment centres across various counties, and an alleged recruitment date.
The fake notice also contained detailed instructions for application submissions and qualifications.
Weeks earlier, the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) cautioned Kenyans over fake interview letters being issued to innocent job seekers by scammers.
In a statement dated Friday, March 28, KFS clarified that there was no ongoing job recruitment.
Kenyans were, therefore, advised to be on the alert and not to fall prey to the schemes being orchestrated by scammers to rob them of their hard-earned money.
