President Uhuru Kenyatta's spokesperson Kanze Dena has been urged to expose what happened behind the cameras during her boss's time in State House.
Uhuru's term is coming to an end after 10 years in power, during which he fell out with his deputy William Ruto after his handshake with bitter nemesis Raila Odinga, only for Ruto to beat Raila in the race to succeed him. Raila has disputed the results.
Kanze Dena was appointed in 2018 to head the Presidential Strategic Communication Unit, serving for the better part of his second term. She was plucked out of the media, where she was a renowned Citizen TV anchor.
Lee Njiru, who served as President Daniel Moi's press secretary and has since written a tell-all book, Presidents’ Pressman, urged her to also document the intrigues of her tenure.
Speaking during the launch of his book in Nakuru, Lee Njiru said people from different spheres of life should consider sharing the information they might have through writing a book.
“I call upon others who are here and the heads of the President's Press Service to also consider writing a book,” he said.
“Kanze Dena should write a book and lift a lead on what she has witnessed during President Uhuru's stay at the State House. The citizens need this information.”
Kanze previously thanked Uhuru for making her the first female State House spokesperson.
"Thank you for helping me write history. I do not take it for granted. And for PSCU, they want to say a special thank you because you have enabled them to carry out their mandate," she said.
