Itumbi celebrates with this lovely message after Jacque Maribe is released 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Director of Digital, Innovations and Diaspora Communications in the office of the President Dennis Itumbi has been giving Jacque Maribe all the support she needs during her on going case.

His prayers have resulted to mixed emotions from Kenyans as others begged him to also pray for Jowi and not just Maribe alone -that is if he was praying for justice.

Maribe has been released on a Sh1 million cash bail in the Monica Kimani murder case. She was granted an alternative of a Sh2 million bond or three sureties of a similar amount. Her fiance Joseph Irungu alias Jowie, on the other hand, will remain in custody for the rest of the murder trial.

Prayer

Itumbi thanked God for answering his and other Kenyans prayers who were praying for Maribe to be released.

“Asanteni kwa maombi. Whether prayers were Loud or silent, God has answered the prayers…God favour each of you… May Justice like many waters flow…” read Itumbi’s post.

Awww! Itumbi pens lovely poem as Jacque Maribe hopes to be released on bail today 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

State House Digital Director Dennis Itumbi has written yet another letter dedicated to Jacque Maribe, this time a lovely poem to give her hope.

Jacque and Governor Obado will be in court today. Maribe is crossing her fingers hoping that the judge will give her bail after confessing that she has a kid and didn’t help fiance Jowi in the murder of Monica Kimani.

Support

Itumbi has stood with Maribe’s in her case all the way showing support in each and every proceeding.

Here’s the letter he posted:

Today as you seek to get bail, I can only pen a little poem, written through a keyboard, but composed from the depth of a soul that has always connected to your heart.

Creating a friendship that we both know, will never pause.

Situations come and go, but our friendship will outlast fake headlines, rumours, false accusations, social media updates, the blog frenzy and even the unfair comments thereafter.

Here my hand,

I wish I had a moment’s eraser,

I would sure delete what faces you today,

Instead – fill the moment with laughter and Joy.

I wish I would be able to move time to tomorrow,

Tomorrow, when am certain you will be free,

Tomorrow, when Justice will have been served,

Tomorrow, when today will be yesterday,

Tomorrow, when your mountains will be flattened,

Tomorrow, like Sarafina to sing, Freedom is coming…

Tomorrow, when I can watch the wind blow your hair,

….and you push the braids back in defiance of interruption, and ruthless focus on your goals,

Tomorrow, when you can dream again!

But Here my hand,

No matter what happens,

I know I will be there to whisper my reservations,

I know I will be there to cheer you up,

I know I will be there to watch you dance in victory!

Here my hand,

Use it as your extra strength,

Use it to write your new chapter,

Use it to bounce back,

Here my hand,

Have enough of it for support and strength,

Then let it go,

There is a reason storms are named after women,

You are a storm, yes you are,

I know you cannot be stopped by the dust of outright lies and falsehoods,

I await the storm in your name,

Sweep us all with your transformation…

Dear Storm,

Jacqueline Wanjiru Maribe!

At the end of it, I pray that Justice is served to all.

Itumbi: I have no problem with Nyakundi. We even talk

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

The Director of Digital Innovation and Diaspora in the Office of the President Dennis Itumbi has revealed that he doesn’t have a problem with blogger Cyprian Nyakundi.

Speaking on Ebru TV during the Chipukeezy Show, Itumbi said that he doesn’t have a problem with the blogger though people assume that the two are pure enemies.

“He was kicked out of Meru university it’s a fact, in 2011, 2012. He called us. We are the ones who helped Meru university council return him to school. Akaenda akafanya the same thing and he was kicked out again. Now at that point we couldn’t really help much. I think Cyprian has held an issue since then.” he said.

Not personal

Itumbi went on to add that he has no issue with him and even sometimes has come out to defend him after he was arrested. Nyakundi has been arrested several times for defamation.

“I have no issues with him. Even when he was arrested for blogging i’m the first one who went on Twitter and called police to ask why he’s being arrested. So I have no personal issues with him. I speak to him when necessary.”

Prominent Kenyans who have defended Kobi Kihara so far after she was caught stealing

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Former NTV presenter Kobi Kihara has been busted by Kenyans faking for the gram whereby she has been stealing photos from other people and posting them as hers.

Using the hashtag Kobicat, Kenyans have expressed their displeasure over her acts warning other celebrities to stop faking their lifestyle on social media.

Others, however, have defended her.

Keep going

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s niece Nana Gecaga and Dennis Itumbi have come out to encourage the former presenter who is in the US not to give up and keep chasing her dreams.

“Given your eye for detail, I am sure you can replicate no problem. I will confirm when I come to visit your stateside. Hope you are will though and keep up the great work with your studies now that is all you and very impressive,” Nana said.

Itumbi, who has been trolled also several times on social media, also chipped in, going against the follow.

“Dear KobiKihara, memorize this tweet. When you see and read this hashtag KobiKiharaChallenge, shake your collar, take enough photos, do not argue or explain.

“Just smile and look for a dance floor. It is never that serious. From a brother who has faced this enough times.”

 

Savage! Itumbi totally destroys Miguna Miguna and Kenyans are loving every minute of it

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Thought Miguna Miguna was immune to online onslaught? Well, Dennis Itumbi’s jibe made him to ‘catch feelings’ for days.

The beef between Miguna Miguna and Dennis Itumbi started on Monday on the night of presidential running mates debate.

Miguna, who was a commentator in the debate, told Itumbi to stop overstepping his mandate when he issued a press statement on behalf of state house explaining why DP Ruto couldn’t make it to the debate.

Miguna said Itumbi’s mandate was limited to tweeting and Facebooking but not issuing press statements on behalf of the government.

Itumbi caught a major one and he decided to fire back tactfully; he posted a map of Miguna’s campaign trail which showed the Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant was only campaigning at TV stations.

Itumbi’s tweet opened a door for Kenyans on Twitter to poke fun at Miguna Miguna asking whether he was a serious candidate.

Miguna however responded by posting photos and videos showing how he was campaigning on the ground in various parts of Nairobi.
