Former IEBC Commisioner Roselyn Akombe has blasted a Kenyan who accused her of going into hiding after previous elections.
Kimutai Sambu demanded that Akombe should tell Kenyans what she knows about the last election instead of ‘hiding’ in the US and frequently commenting in election related matters.
In response, Akombe made it known that she is not hiding but currently returned to her job, which happens to be in New York City.
She also stated that the right to express her views is entrenched in the Constitution and she is not about to give that up.
A couple months ago, Dr Roselyn Akombe called out to the DCI hinting that they should conduct investigations over the death of the late Musando.
Akombe gave her remarks following the directive by the DCI George Kinoti who wants the court to conduct a public inquest into the death of Nyeri Governor Wahome Gakuru, who perished in a road crash last year.
In response to these orders, Akombe said that she was looking forward to the DCI requesting a public inquest into the brutal torture and murder of her colleague Chris Msando and Ms. Ngumbu. She also added that she is ready to be interviewed under oath.
Her request to the DCI shows that she will remain vocal in regard to matters that need to be addressed so that justice may be served.
The murder of the later Chris Musando was an incident that occurred during the heightened election period and it is suspected that it was linked to political reasons.
Even as Akombe made herself available to be questioned in regard to the death of her late collegue, the DCI seemingly did not follow up on the matter.
Despite her work in the New York, Akombee continues to play a key role as a Kenyan citizen including weighing in on matters that are affecting this country.
Just for the record, I am not hiding. I returned to my job, which happened to be in New York City. My right to express to my views is entrenched in the Constitution and I am not about to give that up. https://t.co/KWpPikUFgx
