FAKE: This statement purportedly by ambassadors and high commissioners on Rigathi Gachagua’s impeachment is fabricated

Several embassies listed on the document have disowned it.

This statement shared on Facebook supposedly from ambassadors and high commissioners in Kenya banning Rigathi Gachagua from traveling abroad due to his impeachment is FAKE.

The statement claims that foreign nations represented by the ambassadors and high commissioners in the country have expressed concern that has led to Gachagua being declared persona non grata in the European Union (EU), United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

The statement surfaced online after Gachagua was impeached as the deputy president, following a decision by the Senate to upload the National Assembly’s move to oust him.

To confirm the letter’s authenticity, Ghetto Radio checked social media platforms of the embassies listed on the document, but did not find the communication. Instead, we found posts disowning the document in question as outlined below.

The US Embassy in Kenya disowned the purported statement and flagged it fake on its official X (formerly Twitter) account.

The embassies of Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Belgium in Kenya also distanced themselves from the said statement.

Further, the European Union Ambassador to Kenya, Henriette Geiger, also flagged the statement.

Lastly, news of Gachagua being banned from visiting the said counties would have been prominently covered in the media, however, there’s no evidence of any such ban.

Ghetto Radio examined a statement shared on Facebook supposedly from ambassadors and high commissioners in Kenya banning Rigathi Gachagua from travelling abroad due to his impeachment and found it to be FAKE.

This fact-check was published by Ghetto Radio with support from Code for Africa’s PesaCheck and African Fact-Checking Alliance.
