Two suspects have been arrested by detectives for obtaining money from members of the public on the pretext that they would assist them in securing job opportunities.

David Thuo Njehia and Kyalo Kilonzo, were arrested along Ngong Road, after defrauding unsuspecting members of the public more than Sh880,000.

Posing as employees of the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company, the duo have been taking advantage of desperate Kenyans seeking employment by promising to offer them jobs in government agencies and state corporations. 

Detectives nabbed the two moments before they received an additional Sh100,000 from a gullible jobseeker who had been promised a plum permanent and pensionable position at the Nairobi Water and Sewerage company. 

Upon interrogation, it was established that Thuo and Kilonzo  are habitual fraudsters wanted by detectives based at Dandora after they previously jumped bail for a similar offence
