This comes days after Kenya Pipeline Company PLC (KPC) warned the public against a fake advertisement circulating on social media and other platforms claiming to offer industrial attachment and internship opportunities at the company.

The fake advert claims that KPC has advertised attachment opportunities across several locations, with 156 slots in Mombasa, 13 in Nairobi, 147 in Nakuru, 147 in Eldoret and 162 in Kisumu.

However, in an update on Thursday, October 1, KPC cautioned members of the public against engaging with the advert or providing personal information to individuals behind the claims.

"Kenya Pipeline Company would like to alert the public about a fake job advert for industrial attachments and internships currently going around on social media and other platforms," the update read.

KPC urged job seekers and students seeking industrial attachment opportunities to exercise caution when responding to recruitment messages, particularly those requesting personal information or payments.

"Please be careful and do not share your personal details or send money in response to the advert," the update added.

KPC further clarified that it does not require applicants to pay fees when applying for jobs or during its recruitment process.

"KPC does not charge any fees for job applications or recruitment. For genuine job opportunities, always check our official website www.kpc.co.ke and verified social media pages," the update further read.
