Dr. Roselyn Akombe Promoted to a Higher Position at the United Nations
Former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Commissioner Dr. Roselyn Akombe has reportedly earned a promotion to a senior position at the United Nations (UN).
The news of her promotion were broken by Opposition Leader Raila Odinga's US-based advisor, Salim Lone via his Twitter handle. Lone said that Akombe was promoted to a senior rank at the United Nations department of political affairs, despite strong opposition from Kenyan Mission to the UN.
"Despite "almost violent opposition" from the Kenya Mission (as UN insider put it), Roselyn Akombe just got a promotion to even more senior position in UN Dept of Political Affairs. UN promotions are rare," he stated.
Akombe fled to New York in October, 2017, a week to the repeat presidential election ordered by the Supreme Court, where she announced her sudden exit from the Kenyan electoral commission.
In her resignation letter, Akombe said the electoral agency as was then constituted, could not deliver a free, fair and credible election. "We need the Commission to be courageous and speak out, that this election as planned cannot meet the basic expectations of a CREDIBLE election. Not when the staff is getting last minute instructions on changes in technology and electronic transmission of results," her letter read in part.
"My decision to leave the IEBC will disappoint some of you, but it is not for lack of trying. I have tried the best I could do given the circumstances. Sometimes, you walk away, especially when potentially lives are at stake," Akombe explained at the time

Congratulations to her. Anyone who is always wishing for someone's downfall is downright diabolical. The EU clearely supportted her allegations in their report weeks ago. It is a validation and an indication that politicians in our beloved country are corrupt.
G2. In other words: Kenyan Politicians are SHITholes (to say the Least).
Congratulations Mrs. Akombe. You have been Vindicated (from those who called you All kinds of Bad names).
Vindicated by who? She's only been paid for serving her 'masters' well....for being a traitor to her motherland. What a shame? Going by the reports we saw, she can use 'her' generosity to achieve whatever she wants...who knows what she gave the masters! I hope she never comes back to Kenya, the american citizen.
@justme.. hehehehe truth hurts doesnt it.. mount Kenya with their little money couldn't afford to bribe akombe.. some people value more than just money.. acha chebukati, the commissioners and the blinking commissioners eat what they were paid.. time for payment will come.. we shall follow them to their graves
Hongera DR.Akombe for your promotion.
This is a an insult to democracy. The UN is well known to support dictators and other World outfits so this is no surprise. No wonder His excellence US President Trump(May God continue to give him good health and protect him from his enemies) is planning on cutting aid to this shithole organization. This woman Akombe is fraud and example of shithole Africans mentioned recently. UN security council should meet over her illegal promotion. It's a waste of UN funds.
Kwamboka. I think you have Personal Beef with Dr. Akombe. Anyway: Uhuru LOST Big time on 8/8/17.
Uhuru lost what? You've been hammering hard on this keyboard, update your files.......Uhuru was vying for the presidency, not a UN paid position (although the UN has given him a bigger UN role nways)
Please remind me, who is the president of Kenya today?
There is a big difference between being 'declared president, threatening judges and paying people to come for a fake inauguration.. and being ELECTED president... before Kenya became independent, Kenya also had leaders who thought they were presidents and yet history doesn't recognize them as presidents.. yet they lived at the statehouse.. a time will come, yet again from 2008, history will be re written properly
@kawamboka... not every one can be bribed.. where she is now, she is earning 5 times what the fools who accepted bribes from chiloba to chebukati not forgetting the blinking drooling commissioners.. then pliz change your name to KWAMBOKA - no kisii name is "kawamboka". i guess it's just one of those paid kikuyu online mercinaries financed by mount kenya cartel to 'create a certain impression' - only illiterate kikuyus and kalenjins like uhuru, it's an open secret he is a a thief and murderer
The peculiar, or not so much, issue is that Opposition Leader Raila Odinga's US-based advisor, Salim Lone seems very close to her. Is her behavior at IEBC a confirmation of her bias as a commissioner?
Hehehehe amakombe yr dirty job which u were sent to divvy yr shitholes whites didn’t succeed juu kenya is not a banana republic!Next time ur given such a job by yr leaked white ass please think twice!We knew yr dirty plans which u were representing n thanks God Wr not fools sasa kaaa huko sodom n continue leaking their asses n selling yr countries??Yr need that job to pay yr 40 yr mortgage n an ending bills?
Congratulations .Kenyans had even baptized you kikombe because you refused to be part of their corrupt team na ukamulika the supposed IEBC for what they were.Others were saying that they would have you deported to Kenya .Nani punda Sasa?
You mean one stage higher, like from level G to F and this makes news. As long as she is not UN Secretary General, the she is a middle manager and a woman who is40 or thereof with a Phd and a leg in shithole countries election monitoring , that’s pretty standard. Why is this news?Mschew!!!
@Anonymous, this is news because Raila's mouthpiece, Salim Lone has latched on to it to make more political morsels out of it. Otherwise it would just be another Kenyan earning a fatter salary...
