IEBC Responds To Viral Job Ads Circulating Online
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has moved to debunk many fraudulent job advertisements that have been circulating online.
They promised naive job seekers positions with the commission via fraudulent application platforms.
Kenyans looking for work should be wary of job adverts appearing on social media that claim to be from the IEBC.
The IEBC has discovered at least four types of fake adverts, all of which state that the commission has launched recruitment for various posts throughout the country and is looking for competent people.
The bogus advertisements follow a similar pattern, claiming that the IEBC is hiring new employees for a variety of positions and encouraging interested individuals to click on suspicious links to begin their applications.
One of the false ads directly targeted poll workers and assistants, while others mentioned job openings nationwide without providing specifics about the positions or prerequisites.

“Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has opened an application portal to recruit new staff and fill various vacancies,” stated one of the fake job adverts.
The bogus job advertisements feature links that direct people to complete forms and submit applications, saying that only shortlisted individuals will be contacted by email later.
