The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has issued a public notice warning Kenyans against a man allegedly posing as it’s employee to fraudulently get money from job seekers.
In the notice dated May 18 2026, EPRA identified the individual as David Kasiva and stated that he is not an employee, agent, or representative of EPRA.
EPRA stated that David has no authority whatsoever to conduct recruitment or offer employment opportunities on its behalf, and they do not identify with him.
According to EPRA, the suspect has allegedly been asking members of the public who are seeking jobs for money.
David took advantage of people looking for jobs while claiming he could secure employment for them at EPRA after they paid a certain amount of money.
EPRA further urged members of the public to remain vigilant and avoid engaging with individuals requesting payment in exchange for employment opportunities.
