The National Assembly has refuted claims that it has received nominations for appointment to the Cabinet, contrary to a viral letter it flagged as fake.
In a statement by the Clerk of the National Assembly, Samuel Njoroge, distanced Parliament from a viral letter purporting to show the House had requested clearance from the EACC for three new appointees.
"The attention of the National Assembly has been drawn to false information circulating on the internet and social media purporting to represent Bills recently passed by Parliament and a purported letter dated 14th October, 2025, on the vetting of persons allegedly for approval by Parliament for appointment to the Cabinet," the statement read in part.
"The National Assembly has not received and is not processing any nominations for appointment of any persons to the Cabinet, contrary to the fake letter," the statement read in part.
Njoroge urged the public to be wary of several other fake communications purporting to come from the National Assembly.
The clerk further relayed that some of the Bills that were being shared on the internet were not legitimate and directed the public to confirm any Bills on the Parliament's official website and the Kenya Law website.
Among the fake Bills in circulation was an alleged Cover Page of a fake bill and a full Bill, which the clerk said was AI-generated.
Hard copies of these Bills are also accessible at the National Assembly Table Office, Main Parliament Buildings and at the Government Press.
"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 statement read in part.
"We urge the public to rely only on official communication and information on the introduction and passage of legislation by the National Assembly. The public may contact the Office of the Clerk to verify any information and clarify any concerns in this regard."
As for the eight recently assented Bills, which were signed into law on October 15, Njoroge relayed that the law stipulated that they only come into force on the 14th day after being gazetted.
Therefore, he termed the public comments regarding them as premature.
"A published Act of Parliament comes into force on the fourteenth day after its publication in the Kenyan Gazette, unless the Act stipulates a different date or time at which it will come into force. Comments on the Eight (8) Acts of Parliament before their commencement are therefore Premature," the statement read in part.
