Dennis Itumbi, the Director of Digital, Innovations & Diaspora communications in the Office of the President, on Monday wrote a romantic poem to Citizen TV journalist Jacque Maribe.
In the Facebook post, Itumbi described Maribe as a 'good friend and good soul' in his birthday message in an excellent prowess of wordplay.
He also wished her success in fulfilling her dreams, urging the journalist to embrace life with endless laughter.

"Dear Jacque Maribe, Standing by the window, Holding pen and notebook, I want my wish for you to remain raw, in my poor handwriting.
"May the wind whisper calm in your new year, May the shade of fulfilled dreams cover your path, May you embrace the best of life with endless laughter,
"May blessings bigger than HSC, expand your name and that of the #Maribe's.
"Challenge NOT their version of the truth, instead, push back your braids and enjoy the sunshine and its golden rays...
"For the truth is, you are a good friend, a good soul and indeed JACQUE WANJIRU wa MARIBE, you are a star with a lovely shine and twinkle...
"Happy birthday. I may not be there physically with your other friends to cut the cake, but this little note is my hug and wish. Enjoy!" read the poem.
Itumbi's gesture was received warmly by social media users who lauded the message as romantic while others speculated whether the two are just friends.
