They claimed the agency collected money from them with the promise of placing them in World Cup-related jobs in the Gulf country.

The company, First Choice Recruitment and Consultancy, has offices at the Bandaptai building in Eldoret. It has denied the claims and blamed delays on visa processing. Police are investigating the complaints. People who lost money have started recording statements with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). The recruitment agency is being investigated, Turbo Deputy County Commissioner Mohammed Mwabudzo said on Wednesday.
