In 2015, Kebaso David Morara became the subject of serious accusations after allegedly orchestrating a job in Nairobi.
Morara was accused of conning several individuals by promising them job opportunities through Kenya Recruitment Agency in exchange for money, claiming it was needed for administrative and processing fees. READ FULL STORY
These promises, however, turned out to be fraudulent, leaving many victims frustrated and financially strained.
The Alleged Scam
According to reports, Morara misled job seekers by presenting himself as someone with inside connections at PAWA, a respected organization that has made a name for itself in the fields of art, activism, and social justice.
Using the organization’s credibility, Morara allegedly convinced victims to pay him fees, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of Kenyan shillings, with the assurance of securing jobs that never materialized.
PAWA, which was uninvolved in the scam, quickly issued a statement distancing itself from Morara. The organization clarified that it had no connection with him and condemned the fraudulent use of its name for personal gain.
Activist Boniface Mwangi took to twitter to warn Kenyans of this con game. His tweet read,
Kebaso David Morara is using 0706 443735 & 0711 302963 to con people using @Pawa254
On Twitter, the hashtag #KebasoScam began trending as users shared their opinions:
