KeRRA Clarifies Text Messages Targeting Job Applicants

The Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) has clarified the text messages targeting job applicants.

The Authority explained that the messages are false and asked the applicant to avoid taking any aptitude test.

“Please note: These messages are false and scamming in nature. Do not fill out any aptitude test purporting to be from KeRRA,” KeRRA said.

KeRRA said it does not charge any fees at any stage of the recruitment process, adding that all official communication is issued exclusively through its formally designated channels.

“KeRRA does not require any payment at any stage of the recruitment process,” the Authority said.

“Official communication from KeRRA is only issued through our formally communicated official channels: Website: www.kerra.go.ke or our Social media platforms, Facebook: Kenya Rural Roads Authority and X: @KeRRA_Ke, or contact us via Telephone: 0711851103 or Email: dg@kerra.go.ke.”

KeRRA urged the public to ignore any links claiming to originate from the Authority, noting that the contacts circulating the false information have been reported.

For enquiries, members of the public were advised to email recruitmentenquiries@kerra.go.ke
