On July 3, 2019, a dramatic arrest took place at Mama Ngina, where Dennis Itumbi, the secretary digital, innovations and diaspora communications at State House, was taken into custody.
Itumbi was linked to a fake assassination letter against Deputy President William Ruto, prompting his arrest and subsequent questioning at the DCI headquarters.
His arrest has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many Kenyans taking to Twitter to express their thoughts on the matter.
Itumbi's relationship with Jowie, who is currently in remand awaiting the determination of his case, has been a subject of interest among Kenyans on Twitter.
Jowie is facing charges related to the murder of businesswoman Monicah Kimani, and his co-accused is Citizen TV's Jacque Maribe.
Some of the reactions on Twitter include:
- “Governments eat their own people. This government will punish you more than it will punish me” — Sen. James Orengo.
