The advert warned applicants that Nairobi has pickpockets and burglars. [File, Standard]A job advertisement by the Agence France-Presse (AFP), an international news agency based in Paris, France, has warned potential applicants of pickpockets and burglars in Nairobi. Announcing the vacancy on their official website, AFP warned the job-seekers, saying: “Security should not be an obsession, but daily vigilance is necessary. Human resources consultant, Wandera Kweyu, however, observes that AFP’s message to the applicants was appropriate, given its international profile. A 2018 report by the National Crime Research Centre says mugging, stealing, burglary, breakings and robbery with violence are the most crimes committed in Nairobi.
