Senator Joins Calls to Have Former IEBC Commissioner Roselyn Akombe Extradited from the US

Isiolo Senator Fatuma Dullo has joined calls for the extradition of former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Commissioner Dr Roselyne Akombe from the United States.

The senator argues that Akombe illegally pocketed travel allowances on her trip to Dubai, during which she fled to the United States.

Speaking in Isiolo, senator Dullo said that the commissioner has caused Kenya by eloping to the US to resign and should be deported to Kenya.

" Tuhakikishe ya kwamba international community warudishe huyo Akombe Kenya kwa sababu ameharibu mengi sana (Let's make sure the international community sends Akombe back to Kenya because she has spoilt a lot)."

Dr Akombe tendered her resignation from the electoral commission on Wednesday while in New York, citing among other reasons, threats on her life.

Senator Fatuma Dullo said that it was wrong for Akombe to travel to Dubai to supposedly supervise the printing of presidential ballot papers for the repeat poll by Al Ghurair Printing and Publishing firm, only to detour and flee to New York.

In her resignation letter, Akombe said there was no way the October 26 repeat election could not be credible.

"Decisions are made somewhere else and passed on for ratification and implementation,".

"Commissioners and senior staff at the secretariat are put in line through bribery and threats. If you don’t agree with them then your life is in danger," she stated in a subsequent interview with BBC.

The calls by the senator comes days after Nyaribari Chache Member of Parliament Richard Tong'i vowed to petition Parliament to write a letter to the United States government to have Akombe extradited from US.

Tongi argued that Akombe abandoned run her duty of conducting October 26th repeat election as ordered by the Supreme Court and that it was unlawful for her to connect a flight from Dubai to the US while on official duties.

"Akombe has cases to answer regarding to the current political stalemate, regarding her disappearance while on official duty and as a Jubilee Member of Parliament I can assure you that Akombe will be back in the country once we collaborate with the US government," said Tong'i.

"It was raining heavily when the bus driver saw WOMAN and three others waving him down. Thinking that the Woman and her crew wanted a lift to the city, the driver decided to speed on.
Some twenty metres away he crashed the bus into huge rocks the old man’s crew had blocked the road with destroying the front of bus extensively.
The driver came out with the conductors armed with metal bars and attacked the Woman and her crew breaking their arms and limps badly.
Afterwards the driver’s crew questioned them why they had blocked the road with huge boulders. Lying in blood groaning and moaning in the torrent of the rain, one of the badly injured men pointed ahead and muttered in a low voice “there is no bridge a head. It was cut off by the floods. We only wanted to save the lives of your passengers so that they all don’t perish”.
The bus driver’s crew ran ahead only to confirm the fact that there was no bridge and these villagers had actually saved the lives of the driver and all the sixty passengers on board."

Nb:The DRIVER and Passengers here: UHURU and Kenyans; the WOMAN and Crew who Waved Down the Bus: Ms. Akombe and Her Supporters; the BUS: Kenya.

It's Raining HEAVILY in Kenya. Pay Attention FOLKS!!!

I agree with Taita Taveta Mp Naomi Shaban before anybody take any government post they should have their heads examined.People suffer from all kinds of mental disorders. Maybe Akombe is one of them it does not make sense to run away when on duty.

If Musando took action like Akombe and living the country, today he would be somewhere with his family. Today he is dead. The people who have mental disorder are the people who pretend that there is no problem with this election.

They are running away from mismanaged corruption. It’s encouraged. She’s never seen such incompetence as she witnessed in kenya.

@ Wambui, start with the head of the alcoholic Uhuru and that of Raila examined. If all Kenyans were as courageous and brave like Dada AKWEMBO, Kenya by now would be a paradise.

When Senator Fatuma Dullo talks about Akwembo being extradited back to Kenya, it shows clearly why we need to get rid of the IEBC immediately. How could a senator come up with such an idea?
Fatuma, first tame your wild Somali brothers and sisters before you expose your "gray matter" to the thinking world!

Akombe, the Komba Kombe must be sent back home for investigation and possible prosecution. America does not harbor corrupt people. She need to be investigated in the US and later on extradited to face trial in Kenya.

I agree with the Senator. This woman is a dotard that need to be charged with treason. They call her a Doctor but I doubt she is one. Did she attain her doctorate degree from River Road University in Nairobi? She is a disgrace to everybody that has a tittle of a Doctor!!!. No educated person can do what she did. If Kenya breaks up she should be held accountable alongside her godfather Raila Odinga as person responsible. I question why she should be having a job with United Nations. As an educated person that works for United Nation she should have known that she has responsibility to bring people together but that's not what she did in Kenya. Kenya is extremely an sensitive country because of it is a country made of forty three tribes and have a history of ethnic tension. A United Nation employee working there should not take sides but that is exactly what she did. She allowed herself to be used by opposition to advance one man's ego. I suggest she also resign from her UN job. After all UN is one most of the dividend organization in the World

Job abandonment is NOT a crime and coupled with threats to ones life, the only logical option is to flee. None in their right mind would wait to be Msandonized.

It's an abuse of office. She travelled and dined on taxpayers money knowing very well she was not delivering rather stealing from people. She would have resigned in Kenya and nothing would have happened to her. She seems have been been compromised during her travel to the Kisumu area. The laws governing the electoral body remains fair for all candidates and there's nothing new from supreme court. The supreme court is only being a custodian of the same laws. Akombe cannot lie to us that the elections ought to be done on other supreme courts directives away from the existing laws. The annullement and the 60 day time limit are indeed the only additional conditions that the supreme court put in place.

For those who are saying that she used taxpayers money to run away,I say if she were to write acheck for the amount expended,would be contend,I say no.
My take is that,even if she is returned to Kenya, IEBC will still have its problems.Chiloba is taking 3 weeks leave and will return after the elections to continue messing and collecting a fat paycheck.
Surely, even if IEBC has lost its integrity,cann't we get 15 Kenyans or so Kenyans with clean,and without reproach to form a "clean,and trusted" IEBC? Just 15 out of 42 million persons.Should be possible.I guess the problem would be how to get them to be IEBC staff...

Who took her picture with her head riveted on her hand like on a jack? Just curious. BTW, she should have taken the bribes from NASA and kept quiet, no need for all that drama. We know she was a NASA mole right from the beginning anyway.
