Former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission member Dr Roselyn Akombe visited Africa after almost two years since she quit her job.
Dr Akombe shocked the world after sneaking out of Kenya via Dubai where she was set for an official function, just few days to the October 2017 repeat polls.
On her Twitter account, Akombe on Monday revealed that she had been in Ethiopia for official duties, few miles from the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
However, the former IEBC commissioner did not express intentions to come back home. She had expressed fears about her safety during her time in the commission.
"Thanks to @igadsecretariat @AU_PSD @igadcewarn @UN colleagues in Ethiopia for a fantastic week in Addis. It was great to be back to my motherland and to serve my continent. Appreciate the opportunity provided by @UNDPPA and Special Envoy @parfait_onanga and his team," she wrote.
In the report delivered to the commission on October 30, 2017, Dr Akombe said one of the fundamental problems at the commission is that there are two centres of power.
One centre of power is led by the chairman and the other by the CEO, a situation she argued had allowed political actors a convenient way of pitting one centre against the other, to their (political actors) own benefit.
“This indeed happened in the commission on many occasions, including towards the end of my tenure with some commissioners aligning themselves with the chairman and others with the CEO,” she says, in the 93-page report, which she said covers the period of her tenure.
The IEBC commission currently has only three commissioners, a move that has seen some politicians push for its dissolution to allow recruitment of new officers.
Among those fighting for their survival are chairman Wafula Chebukati, commissioners Abdi Guliye and Boya Molu. There fate will be decided by parliament.
