Shocking details explaining how Roselyne Akombe, the Ex – IEBC commissioner sneaked out of the country have emerged with only two days the presidential repeat poll.
In her statement from New York, Akombe said external appearance and persistent death threats to her family were among the compelling reasons that led to her exit.
But opposition leader Raila Odinga, who claims to have been in constant communication with the officer, says she ‘outsmarted’ the government in its own game to sneak out.
“They never wanted her out and she schemed and beat them in their own game. She had first sent her luggage to US before getting a direct ticket from Dubai to US secretly.
“At Dubai, she deceived a number of IEBC commissioners that she was going for a long call only to sneak to another waiting aircraft,” said Odinga, in his first accounts that could not be verified.
At the time Akombe was travelling to Dubai, she was set to supervise printing of presidential ballot papers for October 26th elections.
Her resignation has further widened the rift between the IEBC and opposition which maintains that the commission cannot oversee an election as currently constituted.
