"We wish to caution the general public that the document circulating on social media, claiming to be from NPS, is malicious and fake," read the statement in part.
"The document is from unscrupulous impostors with criminal intent."
In the fake letter, Kenyans had been warned against protesting near Parliament given that it is a protected zone.
Protesters were also warned of stern action should they protest near the Parliament Buildings.
Meanwhile, a section of Kenyans are expected to protest in Nairobi and parts of the country owing to the current state of the nation.
President William Ruto is also expected to deliver his State of the Nation Address in Parliament on Thursday, November 21 at 2:30 pm.
