The Ministry of Defence has stamped adverts allegedly advertising tenders for supply and delivery of goods as fake.
The fake letter was circulating on social media with in-depth details of the process of the tenders.
It had the tender number, item description and quantity.
The MoD made it clear that they only do advertisements on the mainstream media, newspapers, their website and their official Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Any advert or document not found on their pages or advertised on mainstream media should be treated with contempt.
The Ministry urged Kenyans to always verify information circulating on social media before acting on it.
“Members of the public are notified that the Ministry of Defence has not issued the under-mentioned tender. It is fake. Always verify all information on tender advertisements by MoD on our social media pages or by contacting the Ministry of Defence,” The Ministry of Defence wrote on their website.
