Digital strategist and State House insider Dennis Itumbi has opened up about his personal life, revealing why he is neither married nor a father. Speaking candidly, Itumbi explained that his decision to remain childless is intentional and not a result of circumstances beyond his control.
According to Itumbi, he is “childless by choice.” He noted that if he ever wanted to have children, it would not be difficult for him to pursue that path—even without entering into marriage.
“If I wanted to get kids, I don’t think I would get much trouble in seeking one. I can get children without marriage,” he stated.
Itumbi added that he does not believe marriage is a compulsory milestone or a mandatory rite of life. Instead, he views it as a personal decision that individuals should only embrace when they are fully ready, willing, and certain.
His remarks have stirred conversation among Kenyans, especially given the cultural expectations around marriage and family. Many see marriage as a necessary step, while others applaud Itumbi for being open about choosing a different path.
Itumbi’s comments reflect a growing modern viewpoint—that personal happiness and fulfillment do not always depend on traditional societal structures. As he continues to play a prominent role in Kenya’s political communication space, his personal revelations have added a new layer to the public’s understanding of who he is beyond politics.
