The Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen) has flagged as fake a job vacancy notification spreading online.

In a notice on Tuesday, June 17, the company stated that the job advert, alluding to 200 positions available at the company was fraudulent, urging Kenyans to access their official channels to confirm vacancies in future. "A fraudulent job advert using KenGen's name is circulating online.

Please note that all vacancies are posted on our official website and through our verified platforms and official communication channels," the statement read.

The fake notice, which bore the official company's logo and mission statement, purported that KenGen was hiring 200 employees across different departments countrywide.
