The Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH) has cautioned the public against individuals or groups allegedly asking job seekers for money while falsely claiming to offer employment opportunities at the hospital.
In a public notice dated February 4, the national referral facility said it had received reports and allegations that opportunistic individuals were demanding money from job seekers while claiming to have influence over the hospital’s recruitment process.
KUTRRH clarified that it does not authorize, request, or charge for any form of payment or endorsement at any stage of its recruitment or employment processes. The hospital has confirmed that all its hiring is conducted strictly in line with public service regulations, applicable laws, and established institutional policies.
The hospital dismissed claims that job seekers are required to pay up to KSh 850,000 in exchange for employment at the facility, clarifying that no amount of money is required to secure a job at KUTRRH.
KUTRRH noted that it does not use brokers, agents, or intermediaries to recruit staff and that all legitimate job opportunities are advertised through official channels. Applications are processed transparently and competitively, with selection based on merit and compliance with set requirements.
The hospital said it has initiated internal reviews following the allegations to determine whether any individuals misrepresented themselves or violated hospital policies.
