Dr. Roselyn Akombe, a former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Commissioner has something to say yet again on social media.
Dr. Akombe fled Kenya after the disputed 2017 Presidential election after her colleague Chris Msando was brutally murdered.
Dr. Akombe fled the country to the United States of America in October 2017 resigning as an IEBC commissioner fearing for her life after the sudden death of Msando. She also cited intimidation and lack of transparency in the contested 2017 presidential election which was nullified by the Supreme Court of Kenya.
Msando was found dead a few days short of the August 8th general elections. He was in charge of the IEBC computerized voting system.
Taking to social media, on July 30th, 2021, Dr. Roselyn Akombe took her time to eulogize her later colleague Chris Msando revealing that there were two female politicians who were sent to deliver death threats to her telling her that she would be murdered just like Chris Msando.
“It has been 4 years. Electoral fraud, intimidation, fear, complicity & silence were the goals. Your killers & their accomplices hope to silence us.
Today, the Chris Msando Electoral Justice Award Advisory Board begins the process of memorializing you.” she wrote in part.
“And to the two women politicians who delivered the message to me that I would be murdered na “watu wataongea siku moja mbili and only your children will keep mourning”, hope you realize that we are changing that. We will remind you every day of those you murder to gain power,” Akombe added.
