Former MP aspirant James Wanjohi, who previously contested positions in Roysambu and Kabete constituencies, finds himself at the center of controversy as his company, WorthStart Agency, comes under scrutiny following allegations of an overseas job scam. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) raided the agency earlier today after receiving complaints from victims who claim to have been deceived with false promises of opportunities abroad, particularly in Canada.
WorthStart Agency, owned and operated by James Wanjohi, purported to offer assistance to individuals seeking employment and immigration opportunities overseas. However, several individuals who engaged with the agency allege that they were duped into paying hefty sums of money in exchange for services that were never delivered.
According to reports, victims claim that WorthStart Agency lured them with promises of lucrative job opportunities and expedited immigration processes, particularly to Canada. However, after paying substantial fees for services such as visa processing, job placement, and consultancy, they allegedly received little to no assistance and were left empty-handed.
The DCI’s raid on WorthStart Agency comes as a response to the growing number of complaints filed by disillusioned individuals who fell victim to the alleged scam. Investigators are seeking to gather evidence and ascertain the extent of the fraudulent activities carried out by the agency and its associates.
James Wanjohi’s involvement in the operation of WorthStart Agency has raised eyebrows, particularly given his previous forays into politics and public service. As a former MP aspirant, Wanjohi’s association with the agency has cast a shadow over his reputation and raised questions about his business practices and ethical conduct.
In response to the allegations, Wanjohi has maintained his innocence, claiming that WorthStart Agency operated within the confines of the law and provided legitimate services to its clients. However, the mounting evidence and testimonies from victims paint a different picture, suggesting a pattern of deceit and exploitation.
The raid on WorthStart Agency underscores the need for vigilance and due diligence when engaging with service providers, particularly in industries susceptible to fraud and exploitation. It serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying the legitimacy of businesses and seeking recourse in cases of wrongdoing or malpractice.
As investigations into the alleged overseas job scam continue, affected individuals are urged to come forward and cooperate with law enforcement authorities. The DCI remains committed to uncovering the truth and holding accountable those responsible for preying on the hopes and aspirations of unsuspecting victims.
