Digital Strategist Dennis Itumbi has thanked CS Moses Kuria after he appointed ex-TV Host Jacque Maribe as Head of Communications in the Ministry of Public Service Performance and Delivery Management.
Itumbi has been friends with Maribe for years and has stood by her even in her darkest days.
Through his Twitter,Itumbi posted
"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 comes weeks after she was acquitted in Monica Kimani's murder case which had gone on for almost six years.
Below are some of the 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!
i@samoei5: Thought civil servants are hired competitively by the public service commission!!¡
