The PSCU director further stated that Nation journalist Justus Wanga had lied about reports of KBC journalists being delayed at the State House gate.
Wanga had quoted anonymous sources indicating that the KBC reporters were delayed given that some senior State House officials had not been informed of the reshuffle.
Controversial story
Itumbi further disputed claims that the DP was at the Harambee House Annex offices on the day that President Kenyatta named part of his cabinet.
The PSCU director, however, did not dispute some of the detailed information in the controversial story.

The story had claimed that Ruto failed to go to State House for the press conference given that he was informed of the changes at the last minute.
