The Social Health Authority (SHA) has moved swiftly to clarify a circulating job advertisement for Human Resource Officers and other positions.
The widely shared notice, which appears to be an official job vacancy announcement from SHA, lists 28 different positions.
The notice, complete with the SHA logo and the coat of arms, was formatted to resemble a legitimate government document.
The notice falsely claimed all positions were permanent and pensionable, except internships and attachments.
However, SHA has labeled the notice as fake, suggesting that the advertisement did not originate from their office, and urged the public to disregard it.

This comes a week after the National Police Service (NPS) issued a warning debunking a circulated document purporting to announce a new round of police constable recruitment.
In a statement on Saturday, April 12, the NPS labeled the recruitment notice as fake, warning Kenyans not to fall victim to misinformation and potential scams.
The image, which resembles an official NPS notice, outlines supposed entry requirements, recruitment centers across various counties, and an alleged recruitment date.
The fake notice also contained detailed instructions for application submissions and qualifications.
Two weeks earlier, the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) cautioned Kenyans over fake interview letters being issued to innocent job seekers by scammers.
In a statement dated Friday, March 28, KFS clarified that there was no ongoing job recruitment.
Kenyans were, therefore, advised to be on the alert and not to fall prey to the schemes being orchestrated by scammers to con them of their hard-earned money.
"The general public is cautioned to be aware and not to fall victim to such criminal lies. For the avoidance of doubt, the Kenya Forest Service has not announced any job vacancies. It should also be noted that whenever such opportunities occur, the Service uses official channels to publicise them to all qualified Kenyans.
"These include the official website and national circulation print media as required by the law. Whenever in doubt, the public is encouraged to reach out to the Service for clarification," KFS warned.
