During the operation, detectives recovered several documents believed to have been used in the alleged fraud.
The documents have since been taken for forensic examination to establish their authenticity and determine the full scope of the suspected syndicate.
The four suspects remain in police custody as detectives complete processing ahead of their arraignment in court.
“Members of the public are reminded that recruitment into government agencies follows established procedures and does not require payment at any stage. Anyone asked to part with money in exchange for employment should treat it as a scam and report the matter immediately,” the DCI stated.
The latest arrests come only days after detectives arrested another suspect accused of defrauding desperate job seekers of more than Ksh8.6 million through fake promises of securing jobs in the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), the National Police Service (NPS) and the Public Service Commission (PSC).
In that case, investigations began after victims lodged complaints at Baragoi Police Station before detectives tracked the suspect to a hideout in Nairobi after months on the run.
Officers also recovered two vehicles believed to have been purchased using proceeds from the alleged Ksh8.6 million scam. The suspect was later arraigned at the Maralal Law Courts, where detectives were granted 10 days to conclude investigations.
Employment fraud targeting Kenya’s security agencies has remained persistent, with criminals using forged appointment letters, fake uniforms and impersonation of senior officers to exploit desperate job seekers.
