Dena shared photos of her shaking hands with the President all smiles and in another snap while shaking Hussein's hand as she said the final goodbyes.

The outgoing spokesperson exuded confidence in her successor, noting that she was sure he has what it takes to do an exemplary job.

The two, Kanze and Hussein are both former employees of Royal Media Services where they worked as Citizen TV news anchors.

Kanze anchored the Swahili news while Hussein anchored the English news and was known for his candid questioning whenever he sat down with interviewees.

Kanze resigned from Citizen TV in June 2018, after being appointed as the Deputy State House spokesperson and Deputy Head of the Presidential Strategic Communication Unit (PSCU), before ascending to her current role of spokesperson in the executive office of the President.
