Introducing his poem, Itumbi wrote: "Jacque Maribe, today as you seek to get bail, I can only pen a little poem, written through a keyboard, but composed from the depth of a soul that has always connected to your heart. Creating a friendship that we both know, will never pause.
"Situations come and go, but our friendship will outlast fake headlines, rumours, false accusations, social media updates, the blog frenzy and even the unfair comments thereafter," Itumbi wrote.
He concluded the poem titled "Here My Hand" with a comparison between storms and the journalist urging her to "sweep us all with your transformation...Dear Storm, Jacqueline Wanjiru Maribe!".
