Itumbi rejoices at BFF Jacque Maribe’s employment with the government

Digital Strategist Dennis Itumbi expressed gratitude to CS Moses Kuria after he appointed former TV Host Jacque Maribe as the Head of Communications in the Ministry of Public Service Performance and Delivery Management. Itumbi, a longtime friend of Maribe, took to Twitter to congratulate her and thank CS Kuria for the appointment.

Itumbi’s tweet read, “Congratulations, Jacque Maribe. May God bless you as you serve. Asante @HonMoses_Kuria for standing with a generation, please keep doing good and stretching your hand.”

The appointment follows Maribe’s recent acquittal in the Monica Kimani murder case, which had lasted for nearly six years. Many social media users congratulated Maribe on her new role, while some raised questions about the transparency of the appointment process.

Here are some reactions to Maribe’s appointment:

@AnuarSaddat: “Jackie is lucky to have you in her corner. From Love poems, to acquittal in murder trial, and now to her appointed in government on a Sunday from a bar, all because of your influence. Congratulations to you and her both. The true love story of endurance!”

@bungomaduke: “Congratulations to Jacque Maribe. A well-deserved appointment.”

@MrOnsase: “Hii job mliadvertise kweli? Ooo nilisahau graduates wanaenda majuu kuvuna dollars.”

@Gerjed: “With millions of Kenyan youth who are jobless, that position had to wait for Jackie Maribe to be excused by the court? The job was specially for her. KK loves crim*nals, it’s their first qualification to employability or appointment.”

@GardyChacha: “Was the position advertised in the first place or she is ‘uniquely qualified’?”

@MAKOKHAM: “All the best Jacky. Kudos @OleItumbi for great support & being there for a friend…what a blessing!”

@samoei5: “Thought civil servants are hired competitively by the public service commission!!”
