A letter purporting to be a calling letter from KWS allegedly giving job placements is FALSE 

In a letter that had been circulated online, it purports to give a Kenyan job placement at the KWS.

The letter had a KWS logo and was signed by four senior KWS officials offering a job to Boniface Tulei Longole.

“I am pleased to inform you that you have been successful in the interview and have been recruited as Kenya Wildlife Service staff,” the letter reads in part.

The letter further goes on to say that the said Longole is required to report to Kenya Wildlife Service head offices West Pokot on September 28 for final examination and commencement duties.

“Kenya Wildlife Service is cautioning members of the public to be wary of fraudsters purporting to issue letters of job placement in the service,” the post reads.

KWS has also encouraged Kenyans to report to the nearest KWS office or police station if they are approached by the fraudsters.

“For any inquiries call our toll free numbers 0800597000,” the post says.
