After the Ekuru ruling and the raid on Wanjigi the plot is crumbling and the good sister was wise to take off. The intelligence shared by CIA seems to have rattled NASA.

Wacha sisi tuendelee hapa kumsengenya but we won't be finding her without one hand somewhere in Mogotio.


I served as a Presiding Officer and vowed never ever to do it again. Sleepless nights guarding materials,poor pay,chakula ni boflo na maziwa and then the dirty work of sorting materials and carrying the ballot boxes to the tallying center.

IEBC jobs are so soiled soon there will be no takers!

Here's a summary of Akombe's resignation letter:

1. Her field staff in luo nyanza were attacked and she fears they could lose lives during the election.
2. Threats and intimidation of commissioners and iebc staff by politicians (i.e baba)
3. Daily protests against the commission making it hard for them to concentrate on their work of delivering a credible election.
4. Endless court cases against the commission which they disappointingly always lose making her feel helpless and demoralized. The plethora of cases hamper their work.

I don't want to believe she was a mole because I think we need to give people the benefit of doubt and she came through as respectable and professional. Similarly, I don't believe Chiloba intentionally intended to steal the election, it's very difficult controlling over 40,000 temporary employees. That said, IEBC has been politicized and the politicians are winning over the poor IEBC. Remember that for politicians politics is a full time job and 90% of politics has to be negative for one to be an effective politician.

BBI will solve it :)

we would want to believe she resigned out of intergrity concerns ,however her double speak tends to betray her..a few days ago she was all over the media telling Kenyans that IEBC is super ready for the elections.Then the following week she resigns telling us the IEBC is not ready....kweli sisi waKenya ni wazuzu..nkt

Her departure is a well calculated move to cripple IEBC and forth coming elections!
