Ex-IEBC Commissioner Roselyn Akombe on Tuesday took former Mukurweini MP Kabando wa Kabando head-on over the ongoing formation of alliances.
The two were in the University of Nairobi in the 90s concurrently before taking different career paths, which saw Akombe ending in the US.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Kabando wa Kabando had accused Deputy President William Ruto of allegedly undermining President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Uhuru-Ruto alliance, Kabando argued, was circumstantial in nature, adding that they got sympathy votes due to ICC cases.
"We reluctantly but robustly supported UhuRuto deal after political propagandists fabricated 07/08 PEV investigations. SOME victims were depicted villains. We JUSTIFIABLY sympathized, defended our own. That’s after quiet efforts by some of us to get Raila-Uhuru alliance failed," he had said in one of the tweets.
But in a rejoinder, Akombe suggested that Kabando had lost his glorious past which he showcased during his time as UoN student leader.
The former IEBC Commissioner asked Kabando, a key supporter of the handshake, to go back to his glory days by abandoning his current style of politics.
"My brother, as the SONU leader, you proved that you could unite students beyond ethnocentric/ethno-nationalism. Rather than being stuck with these three men, who you are clearly unhappy about, why not go back to who you were in the 1990s," Akombe wrote.
Kabando wa Kabando is a proponent of the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
