Parliament has dismissed as fake a letter circulating online claiming to be from the Office of the Clerk of the National Assembly and addressed to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) on the vetting of four Cabinet nominees.
The forged letter, dated October 30, 2025, listed Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Kanu national chairman Gideon Moi, Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda and Nyandarua Senator John Methu as the purported nominees for Cabinet positions.
“We respectively request that your findings be submitted by Thursday, November 6, 2025, to enable further proceedings within the stipulated timelines,” the fake letter stated.
The document carried a forged signature of National Assembly Clerk Samuel Njoroge and a counterfeit Parliament stamp.
The institution flagged it on its official social media pages, marking it with a bold red “FAKE” stamp to warn the public.
Parliament clarified that no such nominations had been received or processed by the National Assembly and urged Kenyans to disregard the letter, terming it part of an ongoing campaign of misinformation targeting legislative operations.
This is the second such incident within two weeks. On October 22, another letter circulated online, purporting to show that three individuals, including Lesuuda, had been nominated to the Cabinet and were awaiting vetting by Parliament.
