The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has issued a warning to members of the public regarding an alleged large-scale recruitment drive for game rangers.
In a statement on Wednesday, August 8, the KWS distanced itself from the recruitment drive, which was widely shared on social media hours earlier. "Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) warns the public against fake recruitment messages circulating on social media and other social platforms.
These messages are false and do not originate from the Service," a statement from the KWS read.
In the false recruiting effort, which originated from an online portal called 'Opportunities for Youth', candidates were encouraged to apply for a game ranger post, claiming that there were 150 posts available.
