Chris Msando was Led to the Slaughterhouse by IEBC Colleagues, Roselyn Akombe Says

Former IEBC commissioner Roselyn Akombe has revealed shocking details about the murder of Chris Msando.

In a tweet on Friday, Akombe claimed that Msando was led to the “slaughterhouse” by some of his colleagues at IEBC. 

Msando, who was the manager of ICT at IEBC, was found dead in Muguga Forest in Kikuyu, Kiambu County on July 31st, 2017, a day after he was allegedly abducted in Nairobi by unknown people. 

His mutilated body was found together with that of 21-year-old Carol Ngumbu, with postmortem examination revealing he was strangled to death. His abduction and murder came a week before the August 8th, 2017 general election in which he would have played a key role.

“…Painful that instead on this day three years ago, your own colleagues led you to the slaughterhouse. Like Judas, they sold you for thirty cents, "Akombe tweeted on Friday.

She added: “We will find justice for you, no matter how long it takes.” 

Akombe insists she is ready to testify if an inquest into the killing of Msando is opened. 

But speaking to The Star, Chebukati said it was unfair for Akombe to speak three years after Msando was brutally killed.

"We all want to see justice for the family of Msando and Msando. We have said this right from the beginning. Akombe should help authorities solve the murder,” he said. 

"It appears there is something she knows which we don't know. I believe she should provide that information to the investigative agencies. Perhaps it will help with the investigations to be completed.”

Akombe fled to the US eight days before the October 26th repeat presidential election from where she announced her resignation from IEBC. She claimed her life was in danger, and later returned to work for the United Nations in New York.
