In the notice titled “Public Notice – Scam Alert,” the Authority said it has become aware of individuals falsely claiming they can secure opportunities at the agency.

KURA cautioned that such claims are fraudulent and should be treated with utmost suspicion.

“The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) notifies members of the public about fraudsters and conmen falsely claiming they can secure: Employment opportunities at KURA; Job awards to implement road works; Supply and tender opportunities for goods and services,” the notice states.
