Renowned journalist Emmanuel Juma has been appointed as the head of communication in the office of the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs.
“Mr Juma brings a wealth of experience in all media areas and has the personality, creativity and drive to enable the Ministry communicate its Foreign and Diapora positions more effectively,’ said CS Alfred Mutua.
The CS noted that the Ministry will be holding regular press conferences starting this September to brief the public on foreign and diaspora matters.
“ The media sessions, to be named The Foreign Brief, will be presided over either by myself or in my absence, by either of the Ministry’s two Principal Secretaries, Roseline Njogu for Diaspora Affairs and Korir Sing’Oei, Foreign Affairs,’ added Mutua.
Juma started his career at the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) before moving to KTN where he worked as a reporter.
Juma moved to NTV in 2005 where he hosted a political comedy program called Bull’s Eye. However, Juma, among other journalists left Nation Media Group in 2018.
He later joined Switch TV, before leaving after a month and has since kept quiet until news of his re-employment was made public on Wednesday afternoon by CS Mutua.
