It’s thumbs up Kanze Dena! Ex-anchor confirmed by Statehouse

President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday confirmed Kanze Dena as State House spokesperson and head of the President’s Strategic Communication Unit (PSCU).

Dena has been holding the position in an acting capacity for the past three months since the exit of Manoah Esipisu.

Esipisu was appointed as Kenya’s High Commissioner to the UK in July.

A statement from State House Chief of Staff Nzioka Waita read:

“His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta has confirmed Ms Kellen Kanze Dena to the position of State House Spokesperson and Head of the President’s Strategic Communication Unit (PSCU).
 
Ms Dena, who has been acting in the same position for the last 3 months, takes over from Mr Manoah Esipisu who was appointed Kenya’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom in July this year.
 
We wish Ms. Dena success in her new role and ask all stakeholders including PSCU staff, the media and colleagues in Government to accord her the support she needs to excel.”

Dena is a former Citizen TV Swahili news anchor and introduced the use of Kiswahili in the president’s official communication after she was named deputy State House spokesperson.
