Mombasa residents were left in shock after losing their hard earned cash to fraudsters.
Detectives in the coastal town have launched a manhunt for two foreigners suspected of swindling millions of shillings from desperate job seekers.
The two, Mr Jovanovic Ljubica, a Serbian and Ronald Muramuzi, a Ugandan, are reported to have duped a local agent in Likoni, Mombasa County, to recruit for jobs abroad.
Residents lost money to the two who allegedly vanished into thin air after accumulating millions of shillings.
Kenyans however have not learnt from their rush to get easy things, as they always fail to look at the finer details.
Mombasa residents failed to seek more information on the two alleged international job recruiters, and rushed to fill the vacancies advertised, leading to big losses in terms of money.
When a job recruiter asks for money, it is important to look for more information about the agency.
Ali Rajab, the Likoni based agent, also failed his clients by allowing the con men to defraud the locals.
To avert this problem, the government should work extra hard to provide employment to the locals of this country.
The citizens' tribulations is what leads them to seek foreign jobs.
Many Kenyans working in the Middle East have been tortured, some have been killed while others left with painful scars and this can only be avoided through the provision of employment.
