The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has cautioned the public against fraudulent recruitment scheme targeting Kenyans.
In a statement on Monday, February 16,2026, the State Department of Diaspora Affairs confirmed that certain individuals and organisations are falsely purporting to be employment agents in Luxembourg and charging job seekers a recruitment and processing fee.
However, Ministry clarified that Luxembourg’s official Public Employment Service, Agence pour le DΓ©veloppement de l’Emploi (ADEM), doesn’t allow direct recruitment for employment.
“Any employment process involving luxembourg must strictly follow official and regulated procedures established by the Government of Luxembourg. No individual or private entity has been authorised to collect fees on behalf of Luxembourg authorities for job placement,” the statement read.
The Ministry therefore advised members of the public to disregard individuals demanding upfront payments in exchange for job opportunities, as genuine recruitment conducted through official channels does not require any form of payment.
“Any individual or organization exhibiting the above characteristics should be treated with suspicion. Firm action will be taken against those exploiting Kenyan job seekers”, the statement added.
They further urged members of the public to reports such cases to +254114757002 or the official kazi majuu email.
