Uhuru Dismisses as Fake Reports of a State House Meeting with Mt Kenya Leaders

State House has issued a statement following reports of a meeting between President Kenyatta and Mt. Kenya leaders.

Local media outlets on Thursday reported that President Kenyatta had convened a meeting with elected leaders from Central Kenya at State House on Friday.

It was later reported that the president called off the State House meeting, whose agenda was not disclosed.

But in a statement on Thursday, State House spokesperson Kanze Dena stated that Kenyatta did not convene nor postpone any such meeting, terming the information as false and misleading.

“His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta's attention has been drawn to misleading information circulating online on a purported meeting with Central Kenya elected leaders this week. The President did not convene nor postpone any such meeting. Therefore, the information is false and misleading,” said Dena.

She added: “His Excellency President Kenyatta's diary for the remainder of the week and the weekend ahead has several public engagements of which Kenyans will be duly informed through established platforms.”
