Kenyans witnessed an emotional and heartwarming scene in court as journalist Jacque Maribe was acquitted of murder charges in the Monica Kimani case.

The spotlight, however, shifted towards Dennis Itumbi, whose passionate reaction has since gone viral.

In a video capturing the moment, Itumbi can be seen tightly embracing Maribe just after Lady Justice Grace Nzioka announced the verdict of her acquittal.

The genuine display of joy and relief has resonated with many, as Itumbi took to his official X account to pen a heartfelt message for Maribe.

“Jacque Maribe is FREE! Maribe DID NOT kill Monica. Daaamn! I feel so vindicated!” Itumbi exclaimed in his post, shedding light on the six-year-long journey Maribe endured – a journey marked by shadows and unjust chains.

Itumbi’s message didn’t shy away from addressing what he referred to as a “rogue” DCI boss, George Kinoti, who allegedly used Maribe as a pawn in his pursuit of sensational headlines.

The post emphasized the truth’s brilliance, dispelling the darkness created by “Kinoti’s lies” and a scripted narrative aimed solely at media attention.

“Today, the truth has unveiled its brilliance, dispelling the darkness. The darkness of Kinoti lies and outright script aimed for Media headlines and nothing else,” Itumbi passionately wrote.

He likened Maribe to a phoenix, encouraging her to rise from the ashes, emphasizing that while time may have been lost, the essence of her being remains untouched.

Itumbi extended collective hands on behalf of friends, welcoming her back to the embrace of freedom.

In a show of unwavering support, Itumbi declared, “Let the record reflect that you have always been INNOCENT. The system failed you, and the rogue people who added you in this case just for headlines and creation of a circus should answer, and you must not let them walk out of the mess without questions.”

Acknowledging the pain Monica’s family endured, Itumbi expressed hopes for comfort to fill their hearts beyond the pursuit of justice.

To Jacqueline Maribe, he concluded with a powerful message, “There is a reason storms are named after women. Storms, like focused women, cannot be stopped. You are a lovely storm! Be blessed.”

Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) has issued a statement to set the record straight on the case of slain Meru blogger Daniel Mithiani Bernard, popularly known as Sniper.

The ODPP has broken its silence following a public outcry from the members of the public led by popular bloggers, among them Dennis Itumbi.

The outcry followed revelations that a suspect identified as Vincent Muriithi Kirimi alias Supuu Wa Mioro had been arrested on suspicion of the abduction of the blogger, then later released.

Kenyans were also angered with revelations that the ODPP had failed to advise the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on the next course of action following the arrest of the suspect.

Blogger Siniper’s Murder Suspect Released on Cash Bail

However, the ODPP in a statement released this morning says the DCI, through the ODPP, had filed Criminal Miscellaneous Application No. E116 of 2023, seeking custodial orders pending the completion of investigations, which was declined by the court that released the suspect on a Kshs. 20,000 cash bail.

The suspect was then ordered by the court to report to the police station every 14 days, with the application for a mentioning date set for January 5th, 2024.

Investigations into Sniper’s Murder

The ODPP in the statement further notes that it directed the DCI to conduct investigations into the offense of murder and submit the resulting inquiry file for review and further directions, after the body of the blogger was discovered.

An autopsy done on his body on Friday showed he was strangled on the neck.

Government pathologist Johansen Oduor conducted the examination on Friday at the Marimanti Level 4 Hospital Mortuary.

Oduor said Sniper had marks on his neck and he exhibited signs of a person who had lacked oxygen.

He also had fractured ribs and showed injuries on his head which suggested that he was strangled before being thrown into a river.

DNA Identification

Officials picked up DNA samples to confirm he was the one since his body had already decomposed.

The examination of the body showed there were no defence injuries thus raising questions on whether he was subdued to a level where he could not defend himself. 

Family members said the postmortem was done satisfyingly and appealed to security agencies to arrest culprits for justice to be served.

Sniper disappeared on December 2, before his body was discovered on December 16, 2023.

Self-declared Hustler Nation spokesperson Dennis Itumbi has given the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) a 24-hour ultimatum to make public a comprehensive list of those who reportedly benefitted from the Kemsa scandal.

A damning investigative story by NTV last year had exposed how a few individuals siphoned billions of shillings from the medical supplies agency through fraudulent tenders.

This forced President Uhuru Kenyatta to order investigation into the matter and submit a comprehensive report to him within 21 days.

Through a social media post on Tuesday afternoon, Itumbi has threatened to make public a list of the beneficiaries of the scandal, after the expiry of the 2-hour ultimatum at 1400 hrs on Wednesday.

The former State House employee claims that his team of investigators from the Hustler Nation Intelligent Bureau (HNIB) have gathered the evidence.

He noted that HNIB which works for Deputy President William Ruto’s UDA party will make public the companies and the real beneficiaries of the scandal.

“It shall be done via a live Social Media Address right on this space. HNIB promised months ago, we would investigate and AFTER 8 months we have completed our investigations,” reads part of Itumbi’s post.

For security reasons, Itumbi noted that the information is secured with fifteen other people.

Below is Itumbi’s Facebook post.

Is National Assembly speaker Justin Muturi someone’s political project in 2022? Well, Deputy President William Ruto’s aide has alleged a plot by State House operatives to stop the third in command from proceeding with his 2022 presidential ambitions.

Speaker Muturi has declared his interest in succeeding President Uhuru Kenyatta, and has on several occasions denied being anyone’s project.

Taking to his official social media accounts on Saturday September 18, 2021, Itumbi alleged that the ‘deep state’ has instructed the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to go after Muturi.

According to Itumbi, KRA has already opened a tax file on speaker Muturi and is preparing to write a tax payment demand letter to him.

Itumbi further alleges that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has been asked to swing into action and investigate the construction of a building in Parliament that was started during the coalition government (2008) but not completed to date.

“The idea is attempt to link the Speaker to the mess,” Itumbi posted on Facebook.

The former State House director of digital communications goes on to claim that EACC has been instructed to act with speed and after arrest they argue the Court decision that bars Governors from accessing office once charged with alleged graft from accessing office will apply to the Speaker.

Below is Itumbi’s long post on Facebook.

State House director of political affairs Machel Waikenda has allegedly joined Deputy President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.

The allegations were made by DP Ruto’s aide Dennis Itumbi on Friday September 17, 2021.

Itumbi through his social media accounts posted a campaign poster bearing the image of Dr. Waikenda and the UDA logo and colors.

According to the poster, Waikenda will be vying for the Kiambu County Senatorial seat on a UDA ticket come 2022.

Itumbi welcomed him to DP Ruto’s camp, noting that it was a home of the ‘hustler nation’.

“Alaaar. State House Director, @MachelWaikenda welcome to @UDAKenya the home of #HustlerNation,” Itumbi posted.

The post has stirred mixed reactions, with a section of netizens claiming that Waikenda might have been part of the team that has been leaking President Uhuru Kenyatta’s intelligence briefs to Itumbi.

Itumbi through his famous Hustler Nation Intelligence Bureau (HNIB) has been leaking details of high profile meetings through his social media accounts.

DP Ruto and President Kenyatta fell out in 2018 after the head of state’s handshake with ODM leader Raila Oding.

The rift between the two leaders has been widening, with the clergy recently calling them to reconcile.

On Thursday, Ruto said he is ready to bury the hatchet with President after Catholic Bishops offered to broker a truce.

Speaking at his home in Nairobi, Ruto said he is ready to face Uhuru unconditionally.

The second in command blamed his falling-out with Uhuru on what he termed gossip fed to the President by outsiders who joined government. It was an apparent reference to ODM leader Raila Odinga and his brigade.

Ruto said the reconciliation should be fast-tracked to avoid plunging the country into further crisis and deepening hostility.

A senior government agency employee accused of leaking President Uhuru Kenyatta’s intelligence briefs to the Deputy President William Ruto’s rival camp has allegedly been moved.

Reports indicate that the employee was suspected of being a mole in President Kenyatta’s camp.

He was accused of leaking the contents of high-sensitive meetings to digital strategist Dennis Itumbi who has been leaking them through the now famous Hustler Nation Intelligence Bureau (HNIB).

The leakages worried a top government institution that said last week it had identified a key suspect, the senior agency employee who is said to have daily direct contact with President Kenyatta.

After he was moved, all leaks of intelligence briefs to the amorphous outfit abruptly stopped, but it looks that they have resumed.

Itumbi has continued to ‘declassify’ the briefs, with the latest on his social media accounts being the events leading to the withdrawal of GSU officers manning DP Ruto’s Karen residence who were on Thursday August 26 replaced by AP officers.

On Friday morning, Itumbi claimed that there is a Jubilee party parliamentary group meeting going on at State House, which is aimed at removing DP Ruto as Jubilee party deputy party leader.

Itumbi alleges that the plan is also to roll out anti-Ruto campaigns in Mt. Kenya. According to him, Uhuru allies from the region will be asked to start marketing ODM leader Raila Odinga in their region.

But who is now leaking these intelligence briefs to the rival camp now that the alleged mole was moved?

The leakages of the briefs started when President Kenyatta started meeting the former Prime Minister and Okoa Kenya Alliance (OKA) co-principals for a possible coalition ahead of 2022.

When President Kenyatta met Raila alongside ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang’ula, Kanu’s Gideon Moi and Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya in Mombasa about two weeks ago, Itumbi leaked the details of the meeting to the public, through his Facebook account.

Last week, Dailytrends.co.ke reported to you that a mole within Uhuru’s camp had been exposed for allegedly leaking the briefs.

He was accused of leaking the contents of high-level and sensitive meetings to an operative of the opposing camp.

A senior senator two weeks ago gave the alleged mole a dress-down and complained that when President Kenyatta  and ODM boss met alone early this month, there was no leakage.

But when the leader was privy to the deliberations of the delegation that met the President in Mombasa, all the details and speculation spilt out.

The senator told the leader to his face that he was holding brief for their opponents and that the time had come to blow his cover.

But do you think the real mole has really been identified by Uhuru’s camp now that the leakages are still on?

Ever since president Uhuru Kenyatta started meeting ODM leader Raila Odinga and Okoa Kenya Alliance (OKA) co-principals for a possible coalition ahead of 2022, the details of his meeting has been leaking.

Former State House employee Dennis Itumbi who currently works as Deputy President William Ruto’s aide has been leaking the meeting’s details through his official social media accounts.

When President Kenyatta met Raila alongside ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang’ula, Kanu’s Gideon Moi and Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya in Mombasa last week, Itumbi who runs Hustler Nation Intelligence Bureau leaked the details of the meeting to the public, through his Facebook account.

It has now emerged that there has been a mole among the politicians who have been meeting President Kenyatta. The mole, who is among the OKA co-principals, leaks the information to DP Ruto’s camp immediately after the meeting.

Details now indicate that the High-Ranking Politician was last weekend given a dressing-down by a senior senator who accused him of being a mole.

He was accused of leaking the contents of high-level and sensitive meetings to an operative of the opposing camp.

Just hours after Turkish businessman Harun Aydin jetted out of the country for Turkey, details of items that police had recovered from him have emerged.

Harun Aydin, a close associate of Deputy President William Ruto was on Saturday morning arrested at Wilson Airport while re-entering Kenya from Uganda.

He was forced to spend two nights in police custody after he was detained by the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) over terror links.

The alleged investor was part of DP Ruto’s entourage to Uganda in his aborted trip.

On Monday August 9, 2021, Harun was supposed to be produced at the Kahawa West Law Courts according to his lawyers, only for reports to emerge that he had been deported back to Turkey.

DP Ruto’s allies later dismissed reports of Harun being deported, and claimed that he had been asked to leave the country voluntarily.

On Monday evening, DP Ruto through his official social media accounts claimed that he had spoken to Harun, and was informed that he had bought himself an air ticket back to Turkey.

Hours later, Hustler Nation Spokesperson Dennis Itumbi took to his official social media accounts and posted a list of 32 items that police had allegedly recovered from the businessman.

Itumbi further alleged that the police did not find anything to link Harun to the terror charges facing him.

Among the 32 items are mobile phones, personal identification cards, business cards, personal notes, Covid-19 vaccination certificate, sim cards, entrance and exit forms, head phones among others.

Below is the alleged full list.

Former State House Director of Digital and Diaspora Communication Dennis Itumbi has badly exposed renown political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi.

Mutahi Ngunyi had been earlier accused of scripting last Sunday’s Punchline show, a political talk show that airs every Sunday night on K24 Tv, hosted by Anne Kiguta.

In the show, Mutahi Ngunyi was the main guest, among several others.

During the show, a scathing attack was launched against Deputy President Dr William Ruto, with even the host declaring using facts, that the second in command will never be the President of Kenya.

Anne Kiguta, on behalf of K24 TV, stated that DP Ruto had no chance of becoming President in 2022.

She said K24 TV had made the prediction after observing the infighting for the control of Jubilee Party over the past week.

Kiguta said there was no doubt that President Uhuru Kenyatta had a fall out with his deputy who she accused of faking togetherness where there was none.

“While reporting these events that have followed, we have often debated why the DP has stayed where he is clearly not wanted, why face the humiliation? why create the illusion that all is well while clearly, it’s not? why create the image of togetherness where there is none? How does it benefit the DP?“

“For many of DP’s allies is that they have mistakenly thought that they could force the President into the past days working together…we observe only way out for the DP and that its – stop fighting reality. Living in the real world as horrible as it is frees you to make decisions that can work in the present,” K24’s editorial continued as read out by Ms Kiguta.

However, Itumbi on the morning of Friday April 24, revealed that it was Mutahi Ngunyi who scripted the editorial piece that was read by Anne Kiguta.

Itumbi went ahead to reveal that it was indeed Mutahi Ngunyi who invited guests on the show. To prove this, Itumbi exposed private chats that Mutahi Ngunyi had with some of the guests on the show.

“Goodmorning my Friend @MutahiNgunyi – Be slow to DENY next time buddy. You not only scripted #Punchline for @AnneKiguta – You also invited guests to the show. #SystemYaFacts,” he tweeted.

On April 20, Mutahi Ngunyi had denied the allegations of scripting the editorial piece for K24 TV, arguing that the editorial had nothing but panashe.

“Hello my FREN @OleItumbi. I think @AnneKiguta Editorial on #Punchline had NOTHING but Panashe (google word). And thanks for SUGGESTING that I wrote it with my @5thestateKE gang. In the MEANTIME, read a BOOK my FREN! It makes a lot of DIFFERENCE! ” he posted.

By the time of publishing this article, Mutahi Ngunyi had not yet responded to Dennis Itumbi’s latest allegations.

Former State House employee Dennis Itumbi has narrated his ordeal in the hands of rogue police officers at Kilimani police station on Friday evening.

Itumbi alongside some tanga tanga affiliated MPs flocked Kilimani police station to demand for the release of Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria who was arrested over assault.

They had gone with a court order that demanded him released on a Ksh 50,000 bond.

Below is a long post shared by Itumbi on facebook.

Hahaaa.

” Do not worry,” The policeman at the gate told me as he held my hand.

” You know how this works, we are just following orders,” The cop continued as he told me ” I will escort you To the car, so that you are not beaten by my colleagues.

” I understand, ” I said and redirected the conversation, ” so, normally, how many days off do you get in a week?

” It depends on operations, sometimes two and other times three,”

“Oooh interesting, ” the Tear gas fumes were still affecting everyone even the officers who were coughing and pouring water to reduce the checking effect.

” Huyo ni nani afande? One cop shouted from a distance as we walked towards together. He was holding my arm.

” Usijali, we no on orders, but nitaongea nayo, usiwache Mmmh I wangu, ” The Friendly cop said to me

” Shika huyo,” I saw two cops drag someone past me, I was later to learn it was a Nation Journalist.

He was put in despite producing his Press Card.

Screams followed. ” Your children will never be anything,” a KTN journalist who had been beaten and I was later to learn sprained his arm shouted as he took off. He had also walked in to pick his car.

My friendly cop responded, to the group of cops who had blocked our way and formed a near perfect Semi-Circle, ” Huyu ni Itumbi alikuwa na sisi siku mzima, anaenda kuchukua Gari,”

” Apana yeye ndiye alileta waheshimiwa”

” Tupatie Yeye, ” another shouted hitting his rungu on his palms slightly.

“Itumbi ndiye aliita media” another shouted as my friendly cop stood his ground tightening his grip on my hand.

” Ata alikuwa Live Facebook, ni yeye ameleta pressure,”

The next thing I was pulled from my friendly cop by several policemen who were obviously more than a dozen.

They kicked, rained blows, swang their rungus on any part of the body they could reach.

“Simu iko wapi?” As one threw me on the ground kicks continued.

Fortunately, I did not have my phone or wallet just some 2, 200 shillings which they found and pulled.

As the kicks continued, I sensed it would not stop. So, I held the legs of one of them and as he turned to free himself…i got my chance and fled for the exit gate, with some chasing me.

A few dwellings and bruises was the report form of my experience in the arms of the goons, because they cannot be police officers.

Eventually, using a few tricks, I managed to drive off.

But, Meen, that was a good beating.

You get enjoy some hurdles on this journey, without them you cannot tell such beautiful stories.

Naitwa Mwangi, pole for the beating too.

Cherotich Carren Kiki niko poa.

Asanteni for all the calls and texts across platforms.

Mambo kidogo sana hii….God has surrounded us with His angels.

Be blessed

Former State House Director of Digital Communications Dennis Itumbi has penned a moving poem to his long time ‘friend’ Jacque Maribe on her birthday.

In his poem, Itumbi has describe Maribe as a fire.

The poem reads;

Happy Birthday, Jacque Maribe,

A Fire that refines your ore into Gold.

A Golden friend.

A Golden mum

A Golden trailblazer

So here an online hug, tight, endless and Forever.

Our Friendship, is our souls on Fire.

May you get endless Birthday kisses and triumphs…

You are a lovely FIRE..

I wish you Endless victory, may you warm our hearts.

Happy Birthday!

However, Kenyans on Twitter have jumped quickly on the poem to troll Itumbi.

They have hilariously reacted to the poem, some telling him off for bringing his private affairs with Maribe online. They argue that he should have send the poem to Maribe via her inbox.

Some argue that Itumbi has been chasing Maribe for a very long tie and it is now time he should consider giving up, with some arguing that comedian Eric Omondi had already won Maribe’s heart.

Here are some of the reactions.

State House digital strategist Dennis Itumbi forwarded fabricated letter alleging there was a plot to kill DP William Ruto to a WhatsApp group called Tangatanga, a witness has told the Court.

Noah Keino, a clerk at the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI), told the Milimani Court on Wednesday that Itumbi posted the said-letter in late May 2019, but he [Keino] is not sure whether it was Itumbi who authored the letter.

Keino said he had seen the letter posted in three other WhatsApp groups, and, therefore, he couldn’t say with certainty that Itumbi was the source of the alarming message.

Keino, who is an administrator of the Tangatanga WhatsApp group, said the network was created for Ruto supporters to exchange ideas on how they can boost his 2022 presidential bid.

Itumbi is accused alongside one-Samuel Gateri of authoring and circulating an alarming letter that alleged that there was a plan to assassinate DP Ruto in order to stop him from ascending to presidency in 2022.

The two were, on July 22, 2019, charged with publishing a letter dated May 30, 2019 with the aim of causing anxiety to the general public. They denied the charges.

Statehouse employee Dennis Itumbi has found himself in trouble with Kenyans on twitter after he shared the news of Legendary Jamaican reggae artist Kenyatta Hill endorsing Jubilee’s candidate in the November 7 Kibra by elections McDonald Mariga.

Itumbi posted Kenyatta Hill’s video, captioning it “Kenyatta Hill Endorses Mariga. He will be performing on Sunday in Kibra.”

In the video, the legendary singer who is the son to former reggae star Joseph Hill of the group Mighty Culture says he will be in Kenya for one reason.

Kenyatta Hill, who is named after Kenya’s founding father Jomo Kenyatta says he will be here to support Mariga because Mariga has promised to support the talent once elected.

But Kenyans on twitter have refused to take any of Itumbi’s narrative. They argue that Kenyatta Hill is just after money. Some are arguing that he comes from one of the most poorest regions in the world.

Some have accused Itumbi and his team of affording the money to pay the musician but can’t afford to upgrade Kibra.

Some blasted Itumbi for what they argued as thinking that performing at a rally based on a promise will make things change for their candidate.

Kenyatta Hill began his music career one day after the death of his father Joseph Hill who collapsed and died while on stage in Germany in 2006.

From the time of the death of his father, Kenyatta Hill has staged numerous shows across the world perhaps proving to the globe that he has the capacity to step into the shoes of his late dad who was internationally respected for songs including Adis Ababa, Where Do You Get Your Bread Mr Slagad, Wings Of A Dove, Be Honest To Yourselves, among others.
