The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a public alert warning Kenyans against a surge in fake recruitment messages circulating online, urging job seekers to remain vigilant and rely only on its official communication channels.
In a statement released on Thursday, March 19, 2026, the Authority said it had noted “increased cases of misinformation” targeting unsuspecting members of the public, particularly individuals seeking employment opportunities within the agency.
KeNHA emphasized that all its official communication with stakeholders, including recruitment notices, will only be conducted through designated and verified platforms.
These include its official telephone contacts, email addresses, and social media accounts.
Among the verified channels listed are the Authority’s landline and mobile numbers, a toll-free line, WhatsApp contact, as well as official email addresses such as dg@kenha.co.ke, integrity@kenha.co.ke, and complaints@kenha.co.ke.
It also highlighted its presence on major social media platforms, including Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube under its official names.
“The public is advised to remain vigilant and only rely on these verified channels for any communication from KeNHA,” the statement read.
The warning comes amid rising cases of online fraud in Kenya, where scammers impersonate government agencies and demand payments in exchange for fake job opportunities.
Such schemes often target young graduates and job seekers desperate for employment.
KeNHA reiterated that it does not charge any fees for recruitment processes and cautioned the public against engaging with individuals or platforms claiming to offer employment opportunities outside its official channels.
The Authority further encouraged members of the public to report any suspicious communication through its integrity and complaints email addresses, noting that safeguarding the recruitment process remains a top priority.
