Former Citizen TV news anchor Jacque Maribe has been thrown into mourning following the death of her father, Mwangi Maribe.
Mwangi breathed his last on Monday, December 22, after a prolonged illness.
Dennis Itumbi, the head of Presidential Special Projects and Creative Economy Coordination, is among Kenyans who have condoled with the journalist, comforting her and wishing her strength during this trying moment.
Taking to social media, Itumbi thanked Jacque, whom he described as his friend, for introducing him to the Senior Maribe.
He shared an image of Mwangi shielding Jacque during one of the court appearances where she had been implicated in the murder of businesswoman Monica Kimani, alongside her then-boyfriend Jowie Irungu, before her acquittal.
Itumbi said the gesture in the image demonstrated Senior Maribe’s love for his daughter.
"Asante sana my friend Jacque Wanjiru, for introducing me to Mzee Maribe. A father so solid. His love is captured in a photo that speaks. That photo will live in the hearts of many. May God’s own hand wrap you and your family in grace. Jackie Maribe, you are in my prayers," said Itumbi.https://x.com/OleItumbi/status/2003240546689778071
