The said offers are hosted on a Google Docs link and victims asked to pay a \u2018medical fee\u2019 of Ksh2700. Any vacancies advertised through this premise should be treated with extreme caution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To save Kenyans from falling into similar traps, KAA has insisted that all their job opportunities are posted in leading daily newspapers and on their official websites.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All job opportunities available at the authority are officially advertised on leading daily newspapers and posted on KAA career portal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cases of Kenyans falling for fake jobs have been greatly influenced by the unemployment rates in the country.<\/p>\n<p>At least 740,000 Kenyans lost their jobs during the pandemic according to a government report that was released in September 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2020, Kenya\u2019s economy was adversely affected by the pandemic resulting in significant slowed down economic activities,\u201d stated Treasury Minister Ukur Yatani, who released the report.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The restriction in movements and social distancing led to disruption in labor supply, leading to reduced demand for goods and services,\u201d he stated, noting that the number of employed people in Kenya dropped to 17.4 million from 18.1 million, a decline never recorded before in the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
