Kenyans have been warned against falling prey to an Inua Jamii scam circulating on social media, particularly via WhatsApp.
In a statement released by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection on Monday, July 28, the government exposed the scheme, known as the Inua Jamii Foundation Empowerment, and urged Kenyans to remain alert to the scam.
According to the Ministry, the foundation, which promises fake financial support, is not sanctioned by the government and does not exist within the State. "The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection wishes to alert the public about a fraudulent scheme currently circulating on social media, particularly WhatsApp, falsely operating under the name Inua Jamii Foundation Empowerment," the Ministry stated.
