Detectives have arrested two suspects for allegedly obtaining money from the public on the pretext that they would assist them in securing jobs.
The suspects were arrested along Ngong Road on Friday.
"They had defrauded the unsuspected public over Sh880,000," DCI said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter).
"Posing as employees of the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company, the duo have been taking advantage of Kenyans seeking employment by promising to offer them jobs in government agencies and state corporations."
DCI said they arrested the two moments before they received an additional Sh100,000 from a job seeker who had been promised a plum permanent and pensionable position at the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company.
"Upon interrogation, it was established that the two are habitual fraudsters wanted by detectives based at Dandora after they previously jumped bail for a similar offence," detectives said.
"Similar incidents have been happening as many people have been taken advantage of."
