KeNHA warns job seekers about fake recruitment emails

The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has warned Kenyans against fraudulent email circulating in the name of its recruitment process.

The authority has cautioned job seekers against falling victim to the scam.

In a notice dated March 16, 2026, KeNHA flagged an email sent from [email protected] falsely claiming that an aptitude test for applicants had been postponed.

The authority clarified that the message is not legitimate and does not originate from its official communication channels.

KeNHA emphasised that all official communication is strictly conducted through its verified website and designated email addresses, urging the public to remain vigilant.

The agency further warned that no payments are required at any stage of its recruitment process, reiterating its commitment to equal opportunity hiring.

“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) wishes to inform the public of a rise in fraudulent messages and emails falsely claiming to be associated with the KeNHA recruitment processes,” the statement read.

“Under no circumstances should any payments be made for recruitment.”

KeNHA Director General Luka Kimeli urged applicants and members of the public to report suspicious communication and verify information directly through official platforms.

The alert comes amid a rising wave of online recruitment scams targeting job seekers, with fraudsters often impersonating government agencies to solicit money or personal information.

The authority advised the public to exercise caution, avoid sharing sensitive details, and report any suspicious emails to relevant agencies.

KeNHA is a state corporation established under the Kenya Roads Act, 2007, operating under the Ministry of Roads and Transport.

It is responsible for the development, rehabilitation, and maintenance of national trunk roads—classified as S, A, and B roads—which link key cities, ports, border points, and strategic economic hubs across Kenya.

The Authority also oversees highway planning, design, and supervision, ensures road quality and safety; manages road assets; and enforces the protection of road reserves.

KeNHA works with government agencies, contractors, and development partners to deliver major infrastructure projects aligned with Kenya’s Vision 2030 goals.
