Some of the academic documents of victims recovered in the suspect's house. [Courtesy]Detectives are looking for a senior officer in the Prisons Department linked to a fake jobs' scheme that has seen dozens of Kenyans allegedly lose over Sh200 million. The officer escaped sleuths from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Friday, May 21, during a sting operation that saw two suspects arrested and fake letters of appointments recovered from the suspect’s house. In January, the suspects also swindled over 60 Kenyans who were "recruited" and offered forged letters of appointment, inviting them to join the Kenya Airports Authority. According to DCI, two colleagues of the officer also collected Sh19 million and over Sh5.7 million respectively from unsuspecting Kenyans in the same scam.
