Former KBC and K24 news anchor Rose Gakuo made a comeback to the government after landing a role in Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's office.
Gakuo is the immediate former Head of Public Relations at the now-defunct Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS).
After the end of the NMS's term, Gakuo took a back seat before reappearing in public on Sunday, February 5 during a thanksgiving service at Jesus Winners Ministry in Nairobi.
The former Laikipia University Students' Association chairperson was the head of protocol at the event that was graced by Gachagua and Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.
She took to the podium shortly after the sermon to welcome Roysambu Member of Parliament Agustine Kamande Mwafrika to lead a session of speeches from elected leaders.
She also took to the podium after the Deputy President had addressed the congregation in order to return the program to the church's pastor in the fashion of a protocol controller.
A source within the Deputy President's office revealed to Kenyans.co.ke that the former K24 prime-time news anchor was working with the DP's office.
"Gakuo now works with Gachagua's office. However, I am not sure of the role," the source revealed.
Kenyans.co.ke reached out to Gakuo but the former KTN's "The Presenter" season 2 reality show contestant declined to comment on her role at the Deputy President's office.
Gakuo's star in politics started at Laikipia University where she rose to become the first female president of a students' organisation in Kenya.
After her stint at The Presenter, she secured a job with the national broadcaster, KBC, before Mediamax came knocking in 2019.
However, she did not stay at the Longonot Place-based media house for long. In 2020, just four months after her 29th birthday, she was picked to head the Public Relations department at NMS.
