Jackie Maribe, a former television personality, has been named Head of Communication at the Ministry of Public Service Performance and Delivery Management.

The appointment comes only weeks after she was acquitted in Monica Kimani’s murder case, which had been ongoing for over six years.

Dennis Itumbi, a digital strategist who supported Maribe throughout the process, congratulated her on her new position.

“Congratulations, Jacque Maribe. May God bless you as you serve Asante @HonMoses_Kuria for standing with a generation, please keep doing good and stretching your hand,” he said.

Maribe was cleared of the Monica Kimani murder case by Justice Grace Nzioka of the Milimani Law Courts on Friday, February 9, 2024, due to a lack of evidence.

According to Justice Nzioka, the charge against Maribe was improperly lodged.

“It is my considered view that the charge brought against the second accused person was not the proper charge,” she said.

Maribe joined K24 TV in 2009 as a senior political reporter, where he remained until 2011, when he departed for Citizen TV.
