Dennis Itumbi is not a new name in the scenes.Before he even the team in the house on the hill,he had a fair share of scandals.
He was once involved in the petty theft of perfumes and colognes in the city.
Then ICC came and he made a name for himself as a whistleblower/blogger at the height of the ICC story.
Itumbi, as a young, curious blogger with itchy fingers fit right in with one purpose The indictment of Uhuru Kenyatta had introduced legal, political, and communications problems for the candidate and his team. The decision to run for presidency and build an alliance with William Samoei Ruto, another ICC indictee, challenged the status quo of both local politics and the international order of things.
He has now found himself being termed as a master of fake news
Itumbi furnished with enough material to update the public, like the appointment of Uhuru’s lawyers, legal strategy, and political alignments and re-alignment- slowly became an on line powerhouse.
Itumbi and his company who worked in the communications had been warned that the time for politics is over and all staff should focus on Uhuru’s Big Four Agenda but failed to observe the new orders.
Another blunder is the attempt to make the wife DP William Ruto, Rachael Ruto, look good boomeranged on Wednesday afternoon after he was caught lying using old pictures.
Itumbi had tweeted pictures of Mrs Ruto next to a caravan full of foodstuffs and other supplies purportedly in the drought -hit Turkana and Baringo Counties.He however tried to apologise on social media.
He has also been involved in publicised love affair that have questioned his competence especially when holding such a high position in the government.He was seen in court supporting his ex- girlfriend Jackie Maribe who was being charged for being involved in the Monica Kimani Murder.
