"First, the use of a Gmail address on the poster raises red flags, as official communication from KURA uses email addresses ending in .go.ke, such as [email protected] . Additionally, the number of advertised positions is exceptionally high, and also the poster omits qualification requirements. It provides no reference to an official source for further details, further undermining its credibility. There is also no evidence of the job advert on KURA's verified X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook page, where such announcements are usually published."
""The public is hereby informed that a job advertisement currently being circulated on social media and other platforms is fake and did not originate from the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA). Members of the public are advised to disregard the advertisement and refrain from engaging with or sharing it," KURA's post reads in part."
"A review of KURA's website shows that on 13 January 2026, the agency advertised six vacancies, three of which, finance and accounts officer, assistant office administrator, and drivers, appear on the poster under investigation. On 18 January 2026, KURA disowned the poster and labelled it fake."
An advert circulating on TikTok and Facebook claiming to advertise multiple vacancies at the Kenya Urban Roads Authority is a hoax. The poster lists roles including store managers, security personnel, drivers and interns and uses a Gmail address for applications. Official KURA emails use .go.ke addresses, and the poster omits qualification requirements and any official source. The advert does not appear on KURA's verified X or Facebook pages. KURA's website shows six vacancies posted on 13 January 2026, three matching roles on the poster. On 18 January 2026 KURA disowned the poster and advised the public to disregard it.
