Kenya Power cautioned customers to be vigilant and avoid falling victim to fraudulent schemes.

Kenya Power has issued a public warning against fraudsters circulating fake transformer lease forms. 

In an update on Monday, March 10, the company cautioned customers to be vigilant and avoid falling victim to fraudulent schemes.

The fraudulent document mimics Kenya Power’s official paperwork and falsely claims to be an official lease agreement between the company and landowners for transformer installation.

“Beware of fraudsters #UsikubaliConmen #KaaRada,” Kenya Power wrote on social media platform X.

This comes a week after Kenya Power warned Kenyans over a viral advert circulating on social media announcing 241 job vacancies at the utility firm. 

In a statement dated Monday, March 3, Kenya Power flagged the advert as fake.

The utility firm added that the advert was crafted by conmen who are out to take advantage of Kenyans and swindle them of their hard-earned money.

Therefore, Kenyans were advised to ignore the advert being circulated on social media.

"Beware of conmen," Kenya Power warned.

To avoid falling prey to fraudsters, Kenyans can always verify job vacancies on the official website of Kenya Power.

Additionally, the adverts are usually posted on the official social media handles of the utility firm.

On the other hand, one can verify the adverts through the My Gov publications, where job vacancies in government agencies are published.
