A circulating letter claiming Parliament had forwarded names of four political figures for Cabinet vetting has been dismissed by the National Assembly as false, with the institution warning that the public is being targeted with fake official documents shared online.
The document, dated October 30, 2025, listed Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, KANU chair Gideon Moi, Samburu West MP Naisula Lesuuda and Nyandarua Senator John Methu as Cabinet nominees.
It also featured a forged signature of Clerk Samuel Njoroge and an imitation Parliament stamp, making it appear legitimate.
According to the fake letter, Parliament had reached out to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and asked for a background check on the four names ahead of supposed Cabinet appointments.
The forged document stated, "We respectfully request that your findings be submitted by Thursday, November 6, 2025, to enable further proceedings within the stipulated timelines," before ending with, "Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to promoting ethical governance. We look forward to your comprehensive report on the nominees."
The Assembly flagged the document as fake on its official social media pages to alert Kenyans. It carried a clear stamp marking it as ‘FAKE,’ with the institution urging the public to avoid relying on unofficial platforms when consuming legislative information.
This is not the first time Parliament has raised concern over misinformation. Just days earlier, the National Assembly released a separate statement noting that false Bills were being shared on social media, some presented as if they were recently passed by the House.
The statement, issued on October 22, 2025, pointed out that digital tools were being used to create convincing imitations of official documents.
"The National Assembly takes great exception to the circulation of the information contained in the false documents, which include a FAKE and misleading cover page and long title of a Bill seemingly generated using artificial intelligence," the earlier statement said.
The institution reminded Kenyans that every genuine Bill must be published by the Government Printer before being introduced in Parliament.
It also stressed that all approved legislative documents can be accessed online through the National Assembly website and the National Council for Law Reporting.
Parliament has called on Kenyans to stay vigilant, verify information, and avoid falling for fabricated content that could mislead the public and interfere with understanding of legislative processes.
