"How recruiter conned Eldoret youths Sh800, 000 over fake Qatar World Cup jobs"

A recruitment agency in Eldoret is under scrutiny after more than 200 youths in Uasin Gishu County accused it of promising them World Cup jobs in Qatar that did not materialise. The agitated youths stormed the county commissioner’s office in Eldoret on Wednesday, waving twigs and asking relevant State agencies to help them get back their hard-earned money.

They claimed the agency collected money from them with the promise of placing them in World Cup-related jobs in the Gulf country. They accused the firm of holding their documents, including passports and academic certificates. The positions promised included receptionists, cashiers and cleaners in Qatar and other countries. The complainants claimed they parted with a lump sum of between Sh40,000 to Sh200,000...

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.
