After President William Ruto's 50 CASs were overturned by the High Court, blogger and internet strategist Dennis Itumbi has responded.

Itumbi is one of the 50 CASs whose appointment was revoked on Monday by the High Court. 

A three-judge panel concluded on Monday that the legislation had not been followed in the founding of the aforementioned office.

The High Court declared the 50 CASs' formation to be unlawful. Itumbi made the following statement after the decision:

"Come here, go there. Focus, service and connecting dreams to opportunities," he said.

Information about Itumbi's position at State House was made public in January by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

Gachagua claimed Itumbi was close to Ruto but did not have a specific office.

"Many of you wonder what is the work of Itumbi. His office is known as come here, go there. He is a close friend of our President," he said.

"Itumbi has no office, but he is in charge of everything. He arranges everything, he is the president's handler."

Gachagua was addressing criticism from Azimio, who had asserted that Ruto had ignored Itumbi when assembling his media staff at the State House.
