As of 16 November 2026, the Kenya Coast Guard Service (KCGS) says it is not conducting recruitment. Its vacancies page also says there are no open vacancies. Do not submit an application or rely on social-media adverts claiming that KCGS is hiring now.
KCGS recruitment is not open at present. Check only the official KCGS vacancies page for future opportunities.
KCGS is a maritime law-enforcement agency under the Ministry of Interior and National Administration. Its work includes maritime security and safety, search and rescue, and environmental protection in Kenya's inland and coastal waters.
No. The official KCGS homepage carries a public notice stating that the Service is currently not conducting any recruitment and warns the public about fake advertisements on social media. The official vacancies page separately states that there are no open vacancies at the moment.
| What to check | Current official position |
|---|---|
| Recruitment status | Not conducting recruitment as at 16 November 2026 |
| Open vacancies | None listed |
| Where future jobs will appear | The official KCGS vacancies page |
| Social-media recruitment adverts | Treat with caution - KCGS has warned about fake adverts |
This means there is no verified application form, deadline, recruitment centre, job grade or set of entry requirements to act on now. Do not treat requirements shared by unofficial blogs, WhatsApp groups or social-media accounts as a KCGS notice.
KCGS has not published an open recruitment advert at this time. Therefore, no current official advert sets applicant requirements, qualifications, age limits, documents or selection steps.
| Item | What you should do |
|---|---|
| Eligibility requirements | Wait for the requirements in the official vacancy or recruitment notice |
| Academic and professional qualifications | Match your qualifications to the specific post when it is advertised |
| Documents | Provide only the documents requested in the official notice |
| Application route | Follow the method and deadline stated in that official notice |
Do not assume that requirements from another security agency, an older recruitment cycle or a private website apply to KCGS. Each future KCGS advert should be read carefully before you apply.
There is no application to make now. When KCGS publishes a vacancy, use this safe process:
If you need to verify information, KCGS lists its contact email as info@kcgs.go.ke and its office location as Liwatoni, Mombasa. Its listed office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Contact details are for verification - they are not an application instruction unless a future official advert says so.
KCGS has specifically warned that fake recruitment advertisements are circulating on social media. A genuine public recruitment process is free. Never pay anyone for a job, a form, shortlisting, a medical check, a call letter or a promised placement.
No. As of 16 November 2026, KCGS says it is not conducting recruitment, and its official vacancies page says there are no open vacancies.
There are no current official requirements because there is no open recruitment advert. Wait for a KCGS vacancy notice and use the requirements for that specific post.
KCGS says future opportunities will be advertised on its official vacancies page. Check that page regularly.
No. Genuine public recruitment is free. Do not pay anyone who claims they can register, shortlist or secure a KCGS job for you.
