In a statement issued on Friday, the British mission in Nairobi said the alleged letter was not authentic and should not be treated as official communication from the UK government.
The commission even joked that if the letter were genuine, “it would probably be stained with spilt tea.”
The fake letter, which spread widely on social media, claimed that the UK Prime Minister’s Office had rejected Gachagua’s request because it was linked to Kenya’s 2027 presidential politics. It also alleged that the UK does not interfere in the internal political affairs of sovereign nations.
However, British officials clarified that the document was fabricated and contained false information. They did not confirm or deny whether Gachagua had actually requested a meeting with the British Prime Minister.
Gachagua is currently in the United Kingdom on a diaspora mobilisation tour for his Democracy for the Citizens Party ahead of the 2027 General Election. During the visit, he has been engaging Kenyans living abroad and seeking support for his political agenda.
While addressing supporters, the former DP promised greater representation for Kenyans in the diaspora if elected president in 2027. He said diaspora members could be nominated to positions in the National Assembly, Senate, county assemblies, and even the executive.
According to Gachagua, involving Kenyans abroad in leadership would help restore meritocracy and strengthen governance in the country.
