IEBC Commissioner claims her life is in danger

As the country is getting prepared for the October elections, the IEBC officials have tried to sort out their differences to make sure that the repeat presidential elections will be done without any hiccups as ordered by the Supreme Court of Kenya.

Jubilee and NASA have already hit the road in bid to campaign for the coming October 17 elections.

However, as IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba and IEBC Chairman Chebukati went on a retreat in Naivasha to sort out their differences, IEBC Commissioner Roselyn Akombe has claimed that her life is in danger.

During an interview with NTV, Dr Akombe said that her 34-year-old brother, who worked in one of the government ministries, and his family have fled the country after receiving threatening messages from unknown people. She however believes that the messages sent to her brother were directed to her and only meant to intimidate her. The brother avoided using the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) for security reasons and instead used the road to Namanga before crossing to Tanzania.

“He left the country last week when the\r\nthreats became too much,” Said Dr Akombe.

“He is a man who loves this country and had\r\nalways resisted our attempts to get him something to do abroad.  I feel responsible for it. It feels bad but\r\nwhat can you do about it?” she continued.

Dr Akombe also went ahead and said that she has never felt so insecure in her life before. 

“I have been to Somalia, Yemen, Jordan,Iraq and even Libya for security assessment missions but on a personal basis I have never felt this insecure,”She said.

The IEBC Commissioner is yet to report the incident as Inspector- General of Police Joseph Boinnet has claimed that he is not aware of the matter.
