Missing IEBC IT Expert Japhet Dibo Found Alive

An Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) consultant who had been reported missing has been found alive.

Japhet Dibo had gone missing on August 18th and the matter was reported at Kilimani Police Station under Occurrence Book Number 39/19/08/2022 the following day.

“We are okay and he is at home, there is nothing to worry about,” Dibo’s wife Flora Aluoch told Nation.

Dibo, who is contracted by the electoral commission in the Information and Technology (IT) department, was reportedly picked by unknown people on Thursday at 10.00 pm and was released on Friday at 2.00 pm, according to his lawyer Trevor Lichuma.

"Detectives attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are investigating the matter and we hope they will get to the bottom of it all," the attorney said.

Dibo is the owner of Dial Africa, an IT company with its headquarters at the Kenya Institute of Supplies Management Towers in Nairobi. On the day he disappeared, Dibo reportedly left his office at KISM Towers in the company of an unknown man and never returned home. 

While announcing the presidential election results last week, IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati raised concerns over the arrest, intimidation, profiling, abduction, harassment, and threatening of IEBC officials during the just concluded election.

Police are presently investigating the death of Embakasi East Constituency returning officer Daniel Musyoka, who disappeared on August 11th before his body was found dumped in a river in Oloitoktok, Kajiado County on August 15th.

The Returning officers who aided and abetted tampering of election documents belong in jail.

Elections in those areas need to be re-done.

Now it begins to smell a rat.....with a wispy of smoke from a distance under the bluish sky of Nairobi. On cold dew morning, the Officials got busier checking out they smart boxes to begin processing people but they were unaware the boxes were already pawned and owned by the black magicians just across from the street. They magicians become so contented and forget to cover up their tracks and now the heat is reversible from ground up.

This is part and puzzle of rigging,which backfired, thus the intimidation and murders.
Uhurus government is involved in it, based on the fact that he had promised Raila the presidency.
Let's just pause for a moment before rising hell, if Ruto was in any way involved with rigging Uhuru would have been the first to talk about it.
Didn't he call Ruto a thief?
Let's face it, Uhuru is scared because he fears that Ruto might retaliate, that's why Ruto is trying to convince him that nothing will happen, same thing Kibaki assured Moi.
Changes will only happen if we had an independent body dealing with corruption and folks facing jail time regardless of their political power, status or party affiliations.
But another issue is, how do we deal with the corruption in the judicial system??
Who can be trusted holding any office??
What's needs to be done??
