CLARIFICATION OF USE OF TERM HER EXCELLENCY AND REVELATION OF IMPOSTORS

	Printable version
The Government is concerned that impostors have been misleading the public that they work or are affiliated to the Government of Kenya. In particular, the Government is concerned that some people have been using the term Her Excellency and fake names meant to attribute unto them state powers that they are not entitled to. In reference to the main story published in today's - April 22, 2011, Star Newspaper, the Government wishes to make it clear that the protocol reference to His Excellency and Her Excellency are reserved only for the President and First Lady of the Republic of Kenya or for persons representing their nations as envoys in Kenya. The person shown in the Star newspaper referring to herself as Her Excellency has no entitlement of the same and the use of that term should be viewed as dubious and dismissed by all. The Government is going to ensure that impostors and con people who purport to represent different facets of Government are revealed so that Wananchi are not misled. Dr. Alfred N. Mutua PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS SECRETARY & GOVERNMENT SPOKESPERSON APRIL 22, 2011
