In a report by Nation, Maribe said that they later on met at another Jubilee Party function that was held at Kasarani and Joseph Irungu was at the time staying in Buru Buru phase III with two friends.

According to Ms. Maribe, apart from his VIP security job, her fiancé also worked for a private military firm in Dubai.

The TV journalist’s new statement contradicts an earlier statement where she claimed to have met Jowie at a popular Nairobi night club, in January 2018.
