Education ministry raises alarm over fake staff hiring

The Ministry of Education has said it is not conducting any recruitment of staff and cautioned Kenyans against being conned. In a statement, the Ministry said: “ We hereby make the clarification as a man impersonating the Head of ICT in the Ministry of Education is collecting money from unsuspecting people as a condition for employment as Data Entry Clerks in the Ministry.” The statement identified a fictional ICT staff member, whom it said designates himself as head of ICT department and asks for Sh2, 000 for purchase of a uniform.
