City lawyer Wahome Thuku has responded to Jackie Maribe's appointment as the head of communication at the Ministry of Public Service. Thuku acknowledges Maribe's competence for the state job but raises questions about whether the position was previously occupied, and if so, whether someone was replaced or dismissed to make room for her. Thuku's comments have ignited a lively online debate, with Kenyans expressing various opinions on the matter.



A few weeks ago, former TV presenter Jackie Maribe who is a graduate in journalism and media studies from the University of Nairobi was acquitted in the murder case of businesswoman Monica Kimani. Justice Nzioka ruled out that there was no sufficient evidence to convict mrs Maribe of the murder. During her trial, Maribe insisted that she had no motive whatsoever to murder anyone. Former Tv journalist had spent six years in the dock after being accused of conspiring with her fiancé Joseph Irungu in the murder of Monica Kimani.

What Moses Kuria said about Jackie Maribe's appointment

Moses Kuria clarified that he played no role in Jackie Maribe's appointment, emphasizing that it was the Public Service Commission responsible for the decision. The recent assignment of the ex-Citizen TV journalist to a government position has sparked public frustration, with concerns raised about the transparency of the hiring process. Kenyans are expressing discontent, questioning whether the position was openly advertised and if any interviews were conducted, particularly given Maribe's recent acquittal in a murder case.

A netizen remarked, "If you had asked for a position in that ministry ungeskia hakuna kazi," reflecting the sentiment of many who perceive favoritism or nepotism at play. This appointment raises several concerns about accountability and fairness in the country's public sector appointments.

Some Kenyans feel transparency was absent in Maribe's appointment prompting inquiries into the credibility of the recruitment procedure, intensifying public skepticism toward government institutions.
