Kenyans Warned as PSC Disowns Fake Government Recruitment Letters Circulating Across the Country

In a public notice shared on its official Facebook page, the Commission disowned the documents, clarifying that they were neither prepared nor authorised by its offices.

PSC cautioned members of the public against treating the circulating letters as genuine government communication, insisting that the documents had no connection to the Commission.

"The Public Service Commission wishes to alert members of the public that the letters circulating purporting to communicate the Commission’s approval for the recruitment of officers in various State Departments are FAKE and did not originate from the Commission," the agency stated.

The Commission further emphasised that it had completely disowned the communications and warned against relying on their contents when making decisions concerning government recruitment.

In a separate caution directed at government institutions, PSC urged Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) not to act on the information contained in the questionable letters.

"The Commission disowns the letters and cautions members of the public, Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies against acting on their contents," PSC added.

The latest announcement places job seekers on alert, particularly those who regularly depend on online platforms to access information about available government positions.

Although the Commission did not disclose the individuals behind the circulation of the documents, its clarification makes it clear that the letters should not be used as evidence of an approved recruitment exercise.

PSC has consequently advised Kenyans to exercise caution whenever they encounter recruitment announcements or official-looking documents claiming to have originated from the Commission.

"The public is advised to remain vigilant and verify the authenticity of any communication purportedly issued by the Commission through official channels," the agency stated.

The warning serves as a reminder to Kenyans that official-looking recruitment documents should not automatically be trusted without confirmation from the relevant government institution.
