Former Citizen TV news anchor Jacque Maribe has resigned from her position, effective immediately. The news comes eight months after she was released on Sh1 million cash bail and granted an alternative of Sh2 million bond or three sureties of a similar amount in connection with the murder of Monica Kimani.
Maribe's resignation is reportedly due to personal grounds, with sources close to the matter stating that she wants to concentrate on her case, clear her name, and get back into the game. The exact reasons behind her resignation remain unclear, as she has yet to officially comment on the matter.
As part of her bail conditions, Maribe was prohibited from reading news or commenting on any matter concerning the case. The conditions, set by Justice James Wakiaga, also included restrictions on her contact with prosecution witnesses and her ability to interview individuals associated with the case.
Maribe's resignation from Citizen TV marks a significant development in her ongoing case, which has been ongoing for several months. The case has garnered significant attention in the media, with many following the developments closely.
