Congratulations my dear friend @KanzeDena on your confirmation as the State House Spokesperson and head of the PSCU. You have joined the group of great people Lee Njiru, Isaiah Kabira and Manoah Esipisu. Zarina Kadzu came closer but didn’t make it. You are the first woman. Kudos

President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday confirmed Ms Dena to the lucrative position.
Ms Dena, who has been acting in the same position for the last 3 months, takes over from Mr Manoah Esipisu who was appointed Kenya’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom in July this year.

“We wish Ms. Dena success in her new role and ask all stakeholders including PSCU staff, the media and colleagues in Government to accord her the support she needs to excel,” the statement reads.
Before her elevation to the helm of the President’s communication team, Ms Dena was the acting Spokesperson, a role she assumed over 3 months ago.
In June this year, Ms Dena was appointed to a newly created position of Deputy State House Spokesperson and Deputy Head of PSCU.
