Labour and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua has provided an update on the results of the Qatar job interviews conducted in Nairobi.
In a statement released on Sunday, November 10, Mutua confirmed that successful candidates will be notified by phone call, inviting them to collect their appointment letters in person.
Mutua clarified that the results of the interviews, which were held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), will also be available for collection at the same venue.
He refuted rumors suggesting that successful candidates would receive acceptance messages via SMS, emphasizing that official notifications would only come through direct phone calls.
The Cabinet Secretary also issued a warning about misleading information circulating online, urging Kenyans to be cautious of scammers posing as official recruiters.
“Successful candidates from the Qatar interviews will only be notified by phone call, not by SMS. Appointment letters can only be collected in person at KICC,” Mutua stated.
In addition, Mutua addressed a fraudulent message that was sent to some applicants, falsely claiming to be from an organization named Alfrawkly Service Limited.
The message instructed recipients to appear urgently at a location in Nairobi to sign their appointment letters and suggested that fresh interviews would be held for additional positions.
The fake message read:
“Hey, hope this finds you well. Kindly if you did KICC interviews under Alfrawkly Service Limited, located along Taveta Road, Intermark Business Centre, 6th floor, avail yourself on Monday 11th, at 9 am without fail to sign your offer letter. It’s urgent. Also, inform your friends that we shall be holding fresh interviews for GCC light and heavy drivers on the same Monday.”
Mutua condemned the message as a scam and assured the public that security agencies are actively investigating the matter. He urged Kenyans not to respond to such messages or share them with others.
“Security agencies are pursuing the individuals responsible for spreading this and similar fraudulent information intended to scam unsuspecting Kenyans,” he said.
With the rise of digital communication, Mutua reminded the public to be vigilant in recognizing fake publications.
He advised checking if the message comes from an official government website or a verified social media account to help identify potential scams.
Fake messages often contain telltale signs, such as poor grammar or slight alterations in domain names, which are typically not present in official government communications.
