Ex-KBC journalist Bonnie Musambi lands new State House job

President William Ruto has appointed journalist Bonnie Musambi as the Director of Coordination at State House, under the office of the Spokesperson.

The former Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) news anchor took to social media on Tuesday to express his gratitude to the Head of State for the new job.

“Wow! Just wow! My immeasurable gratitude to God and you Mr President, for my appointment as Director Coordination, State House. I promise my full dedication and loyalty to you and all Kenyans,” he wrote.

Musambi also appreciated former United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party Chairperson Johnson Muthama following his new role, saying the ex-Machakos Senator had mentored him through his life’s journey.

“Special thanks to Commissioner Hon. Johnson Nduya Muthama for mentorship and unwavering support. To my family, fans and political supporters, I will never let you down,” he said.

Musambi resigned from KBC last year to contest for the Kitui Central MP race in the August 2022 General Election under President Ruto-led UDA party ticket but was floored by Wiper’s Dr Makali Mulu.

He had worked at the State-owned broadcaster for 14 years before joining politics.
