Dennis Itumbi today penned down an emotional letter to four-year old Zahari, Citizen TV journalist Jacque Maribe’s son.
To Zahari, one day when Google returns results of the rumours and innuendo, may you also know Mum had friends who believed in her innocence and who, like many final verdicts by our Judges, know prosecutors and investigators are NOT always right. pic.twitter.com/bkBGyAeSPB

One would think that after the heartfelt letter, Kenyans On Twitter would empathize with Itumbi who has been at the forefront, defending his friend Miss Maribe. However, this was not the case as KOT responded coldly to Itumbi’s letter.
Oya 'mwanaume'. Hudumia wakenya, wachana na Korti, itafanya kazi yake. Wacha ujinga!

Let's release all the criminals in our penetentiary on the basis that they have dependants since we are a very compassionate society…

Sounds to me like @OleItumbi you have invested a lot of thought and time penning love letters to this inmate, haki yako. Can we revert to national issues, of which many await your attention?

I hope that @OleItumbi is not trying to win Jacque Maribe back with all these noise he's been making here. Let justice be done to Jacque, Monica Kimani and Jowie.

The letter by Itumbi read;
“To Zahari,
This is a letter addressed to you in future,
I know one day the Internet will show you what has been said and written about Mum, Jacque Maribe.
As the search returns the results, may you also find this message.
Mum has friends, who stood by her because they know, she is the true definition of Love.
When she loved she gave her soul and heart as it should be. She loves with all she got. Pure and true.
As a friend, she was always available, even for smaller functions where friends do not have to turn up, she always showed up. Friendship is not an after-thought for her, it is a lifestyle.
That is why despite all the defence she has, she chose to say the only reason she wants Bail was because she wanted to be with you – Her love. – that is Mum for you.
To her friends Loyalty, to those she loves, wholesome sacrifice and endless affection.
Importantly, despite all that is written, we believe she is innocent.
By the time you read this in the future, she will be free, will have written a great book and all that negativity about her will have been replaced by the reality that Mum is a lovely human being.
We pray for Justice for all involved. It has been established by final verdicts in courts that Prosecutors and investigators are not always right.
We stretch a hand of friendship and sincere prayers to and for Mum.
She was not alone, through what Google may return as results, she lived well with people, in turn, her friends stood with her
I am not a perfect friend, but like all her friends, we all aim for perfection, just like her.
God strengthen Mum.”
It would help to pen a letter to Monica's parents who lost their daughter in a gruesome murder committed by the two criminals on the dock. that they will never see her again and will be confronted by the image of a cold blooded murderer announcing their daughter's death on TV
