Editor's Review

Roselyn Akombe played down the assertion that Chiloba was appointed a consul general in the US to trace her.

Former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioner Roselyn Akombe says she is not troubled by Ezra Chiloba's appointment as an ambassador.

Chiloba once served as the IEBC chief executive officer.

Via a statement by State House Chief of Staff Felix Koskei on Friday, March 8, President William Ruto appointed Chiloba as consul general in the United States.

He would be in charge of the state of Los Angeles.

Reacting to the appointment, a Kenyan suggested that it was strategic in tracing Akombe, who fell out with the Kenyan state in 2017.

"Chiloba has been sent to look for Akombe. She should now be watchful and careful. Chiloba is hunting her down. She better move to Switzerland," said the concerned Kenyan named Mapangala.

Ex-IEBC commissioner Roselyn Akombe.

In her reaction, Akombe said she is not in fear of anything, entrusting her safety with her God.



Akombe fled Kenya at a critical time ahead of the 2017 repeat elections following the annulment of the presidential results by the Supreme Court. 

She resigned from her post citing intimidation and lack of transparency in the country's electoral system.

Akombe had also promised to testify in the public inquest into the brutal murder of former IEBC ICT director Chris Musando.

Since then, she shunned Kenya until 2021 when she first returned.
