Detectives have arrested two suspects accused of obtaining money from members of the public on the pretext that they would assist them in securing job opportunities.
David Thuo Njehia and Kyalo Kilonzo were arrested along Ngong Road in Nairobi.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the two have defrauded unsuspecting members of the public more than Ksh880,000 (USD$5938).

Posing as employees of the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company, the duo have taken advantage of desperate Kenyans seeking employment by promising to offer them jobs in government agencies and state corporations.
Detectives pounced on the two moments before they received an additional Sh100,000 from a gullible jobseeker who had been promised a plum permanent and pensionable position at the Nairobi Water and Sewerage company.
“Upon interrogation, it was established that they are habitual fraudsters wanted by detectives based at Dandora after they previously jumped bail for a similar offence,” said DCI.
