IEBC COMMISSIONER ROSELYN AKOMBE'S FAMILY FLEE THE COUNTRY FOR FEAR OF THEIR OWN LIVES AFTER RECEIVING DEATH THREATS
In an interview with the Nation, commissioner Akombe confirmed that her 34-year-old brother escaped the country together with his wife and three children through the Namanga border point on September 5th after sustained threats on his life by unknown individuals.
Akombe suspects this is part of a wider plot to intimidate commissioners, especially those perceived not to tow the “official line.”
“He left the country last week when the threats became too much,” Ms Akombe confided in the
Nation in an exclusive interview.
Dr Akombe said the threatening messages directed at her brother were intended to intimidate her.
“He is a man who loves this country and had always resisted our attempts to get him something to do abroad. I feel responsible for it. It feels bad but what can you do about it?” a distraught Akombe said.
It is said he deliberately avoided fleeing through the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) for security reasons, but travelled to Namanga by road, before crossing the border to neighbouring Tanzania.
