Jackie (Jackline) Nake Lumbasi is a Kenyan media personality currently^{[as of?]} working in Kigali, Rwanda.^[1][2] She co-hosted the Big Breakfast Show on 91.3 Capital FM from 2008 to 2018 with a number of presenters including Gaetano Kagwa, Ramesh Gabalsing, Alan Kasujja, Marcus Kwikiriza and Oulanya ^[3] as well as read the evening news on UBC in Uganda until 2014.

Lumbasi went off Capital FM airwaves in February 2018 and joined an off-air position at the same station after a full reshuffle of the Big Breakfast show but shortly after that moved to Rwandan-based Royal FM to do a morning Show in the English Language alongside Kwizera.^[4]

She is very much known for her deep strong, husky voice and hearty laugh and was mentioned among the highest-paid radio presenters in Uganda.^[5][6]

Lumbasi started her media career as a presenter at a Christian radio station Power FM in Kampala. She then moved to Capital Fm Uganda where she started hosting the breakfast show in 2008 after the departure of Lilian Mbabazi until 2018 when the whole breakfast show was reshuffled. She revealed her departure in one of Flavia Tumusiime's video diaries which was shared on Flavia's and Capital FM's Facebook page.^[7] She immediately got an offer in Kigali, Rwanda in March 2018 where she hosted the breakfast show with Kwizera. Jackie joked about the fact that she has worked with people whose names start with the letter K, citing Alan Kasujja, Marcus Kwikiriza, Gaetano Kagwa and in Rwanda, where she hosted a breakfast show dubbed 'Kigali In The Morning,' together with Kwizera_Arnold. In 2019, Lumbasi was appointed Acting Station Manager of Royal Fm, a position in which she served until April 2022.

In 2021, Lumbasi became the first non-RBA journalist to interview President Paul Kagame alongside RBA senior journalist Cleophas Barore. When she was asked how it felt she said she lacked the right words to describe the feeling of sitting across from President Kagame and conversing with him for over an hour.^{[citation needed]}

She previously had the honour of meeting former president of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo and interviewed him for her breakfast show, although the interview was never aired for technical reasons.^{[citation needed]} She also once had a one-on-one conversation with former president of Kenya, the late Daniel Arap Moi during a visit he had made to Kampala, Uganda.^{[citation needed]}
