Job advertisement claiming KCB Bank Kenya and UNITAR are hiring 63,750 workers is fake
A graphic advertising thousands of jobs at the KCB Foundation is circulating on social media in Kenya, but KCB Bank Kenya has confirmed it did not issue the advertisement and labeled it as fake.
A job advertisement claims KCB Bank Kenya and UNITAR are hiring 63,750 workers through a partnership to promote electric motorbikes for Boda Boda riders in Kenya. The advert, titled 'ELECTRIC MOTORBIKE GREEN JOBS', states that 58,000 electric motorbikes have been procured and distributed across all 290 constituencies and says thousands of boda boda operators, security officers, supervisors, accountants, and secretaries are needed, with salaries ranging from KSh18,600 to KSh70,500 per month. The advertisement directs applicants to a link or contact method not specified in the provided text. KCB Bank Kenya has stated it did not advertise thousands of jobs and that the advert is fake. According to one account, the advert claims 63,750 job openings; according to another, KCB referenced only 200 job openings as the actual number it advertised. The fake advert used a logo different from KCB's official logo and an email address with a strange extension. Kenya Railways has issued a warning about fake job scams. KCB Group managing director and CEO Paul Russo issued a public notice on May 3 urging Kenyans to be vigilant against fake job advertisements.
