The National Assembly leadership has dismissed a list of purported cabinet nominees circulating on social media and online platforms as fake.
The notice which has been circulating on social media platform has a list of names claimed to be allegedly appointed to key cabinet positions and are awaiting vetting.
In the notice allegedly sent to the EACC by the Clerk of the National Assembly for vetting include names of Hon. Charity Ngilu, Hon. Junet Mohamed, Ms. Christina Pratt Kenyatta, Ms. Jeniffer Shamala, Mr. Mutahi Kagwe, Hon. Okiya Omtatah, Mr. Morara Kebaso and Hon. Kanini Kega. This notice has fueled public speculation and widespread debate.
However, in a formal statement, the National Assembly has advised the public and media to treat the list with contempt and disdain, noting that it’s obviously fake.
The House has confirmed that it has no official communication regarding any new cabinet nomination that has reached the National Assembly.
“This list has not come through any official channels within the National Assembly, and we urge the public to disregard it, as no formal communication or announcement has been issued by the Office of the President,” the National Assembly confirmed.
The National Assembly went further and emphasized that should there be any such communication, it will follow the normal channels to reach members of the public and media.
