The Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has dismissed a circulating job recruitment advert as fake.
The fraudulent advertisement, which has been widely shared on social media, claims that the company is looking to train and employ 10,000 youths under a new program for 2025.
The misleading advert, which includes the Kenya Power logo, falsely states that both graduates and non-graduates will be provided with free accommodation and meals.
Kenya Power took to its official social media accounts on Friday, March 14, to debunk the claims, labeling the advertisement as fake.
This comes barely a week after 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 mimicked 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.
Two weeks ago, Kenya Power also 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.
