ITUMBI CONGRATULATES MARIBE ON PUBLIC SERVICE MINISTRY APPOINTMENT

Former Citizen TV news presenter Jacque Maribe has been appointed as the Head of Communications at the Public Service Ministry, following her recent acquittal of a murder charge.

Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria made the announcement on Sunday days after Maribe was cleared in the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani.

Maribe, who had been charged alongside her former fiancé Joseph Irungu, alias Jowie, was acquitted of the murder of the businesswoman who was killed at her apartment in Nairobi’s Kilimani area in 2018.

Digital communications strategist Dennis Itumbi, a close friend of Maribe has celebrated the news. “Congratulations, Jacque Maribe. May God bless you as you serve Asante Moses Kuria for standing with a generation, please keep doing good and stretching your hand,” he said.

Maribe’s ex-fiancé, Jowie, was found guilty of Monica’s murder and is awaiting sentencing on March 13.
