Angry youths in Eldoret, claiming to be victims scammed by Judy Jepchirchir, a director at First Choice Recruitment Agency, on Wednesday afternoon stormed her parents’ home to demand for refunds of monies they say she fraudulently obtained from them.
The at least a dozen victims, confronted her parents and other family members with banners exposing their daughter as a con.
Ms. Jepchirchir has been on the spotlight for collecting millions of shillings from jobseekers, deals that have allegedly turned out to be non-existent.
In June 2023, she appeared before the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare where it was confirmed that nearly 300 victims of the First Choice Recruitment Agency had already recorded their statements with the National Police Service financial fraud investigators from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
Previously, hundreds of youths in Eldoret explained how they were duped by Jepchirchir’s firm into paying between KSh. 40,000 to KSh. 200,000 to secure jobs in Qatar during the 2022 World Cup, but neither did they travel to the Gulf country nor get their refunds.
Jepchirchir, 37, rose from selling ‘mitumba’ in 2010 before enrolling at Moi University where she reportedly pursued Business Management.
Her life since, has mysteriously been revolving around Kenya, Canada and Australia.
