Raila Opens Up On His Relationship with Former IEBC Commissioner Roselyn Akombe

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has described former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioner Dr Roselyn Akombe as a heroine, adding that she is a “brave, bright woman who outsmarted government mercenaries that were out to finish her”.

Speaking during a rally in Keroka, Kisii county on Monday, the former Prime Minister claimed that state officers had threatened Akombe and her family.

He said that the former commissioner used a calculated move to flee to the US to announce her exit from the electoral commission. "Her plan was very well calculated and she moved her family and luggage ahead of the Dubai trip while tricking the rest of the IEBC commissioners that she would join them only to land in New York," Raila said.

The Nasa leader confessed he was in constant communication with Akombe and that he called her when she was pulled out of a US-bound plane and temporarily detained at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) moments after the August 8th election.

"We talked and she told me that they had tried to strip her naked as they searched for any possible evidence and secrets of the annulled Presidential poll," Odinga said.

Raila sensationally claimed that the harassment of Akombe at JKIA was part of a plan to eliminate her. He also revealed that state officials attempted to undress her on that day.

"She finally beat them in their own game when she landed in New York," he said.

Raila added that, just like slain IEBC ICT director Chris Msando, police gave a deaf ear to threats on Akombe's life.

Akombe announced her exit from the commission last Wednesday citing numerous reasons among them threats on her life.

Sleeping with magaya (ODM leader) is what you call Heroine? Mole giving Magaya all IEBC sensitive information. Please Bure kabisa., This will come to haunt her. Ultimate Betrayal to a country when you are supposed to be on official duties.,

Were you part of the sleeping process? How did you know she was sleeping with Magaya. Ms. Akombe is a true nationalist and strong minded woman.She stood by the truth refusing to be part of evil bend individuals like you.
you have (kenyatta supporters) eaten advacado seeds before measuring your ass hole sizes. Now the question is this, how will you bring them (advacado seeds) out after your illegitimate election?

"..."We talked and she told me that they had tried to strip her naked as they searched for any possible evidence and secrets of the annulled Presidential poll," Odinga said...."

This makes no sense...how could evidence and secrets of a legal ruling be found on anyone's body? Ujinga na uongo..... tell us another one.

Akombe , Komba Kombe is a coward and a manipulator in chief. She lied to Kenyans at large that she would not resign. Then while on duty she eloped for the purpose of causing confusion, chaos and damage to our country. She may be a heroine to NASA but a security threat to Kenya. We seem to forget that on regular days, we are all one (NASA and Jubilee supporters). Why the heck do we have to stoop so low and get divided due to the evil of politics?

We've always pointed out that Raila is full always driven by emotions.Now, don't look further for any evidence who Akombe was working for.

So how credible is this Akombe lady after denying categorically while under oath of her office that she was pulled off a plane. Her sponsor Rao confirms and even goes further to mention secret talks. Shame on this wh**e

This confirms what has been said all along about her sexual promiscuity and sex addiction. It has been alleged in the media and online forums that the woman is a sex addict and behaved like a hoe by sleeping with male commissioners while playing them. It is also alleged she fought with Orengo on Agust 14th over allegation that Orengo gave her herpes, a deadly sexually transmitted disease. Whether this is true or not only her knows. But she has not come out to denie it and even if she did who would believe her anyway. Remember there was allegation that she had personal connection with Raila but she kept denying it?. Now Raila has come out to confirm that there was indeed that connection. What is she going to tell us next?

America can be very lonely sometimes and sometimes women dnt get the kind of attention she got when she went to Kenya and all this got to her head she did things she regreted doing later,thats why she was so emotional on TV.

What he meant by that statement is that when Raila went under the knife in the basement of Nyati house during Moi's administration, the operation was botched and as a result left some uncut tissues in the forehead. That resulted in transformation not taking place as was intended. The outcome was a half-baked being that is neither a lad nor a man. A mule as some people would prefer to call it. The conversation between him(Raila) and Akombe was supposed to be a secret between them as disclosing it at this stage meant jeopardizing Akombe's credibility. While Akombe is busy holding conferences claiming how she never had any communication with any of them Raila, as one would expect with a lad, is busy disclosing all what went on behind the scene. Take my words my friends, Raila's ego and his status as a lad cannot allow him to keep any secret. Soon or later you will learn from his own mouth how Kenya's 2017 coup attempt(The whole Maraga Saga) was engineered. Of course, he will come out a hero as Kenya's Master Planner of all times.

Is Akombe a master of disguise or she is not? Was she crying crocodile tears of she was not?
The opposition has a lot of influence both in Kenya and overseas , let them come with good strategies
of winning an election not just whining .

Still the most disturbing part: 'I had been in constant contact with her all the time'. Who else has RAO been in contact with at the IEBC apart from Chiloba, who told him off?

Akombe has fake credibility. She talks trash of other commissioners and then Raila outs her as his mole in IEBC! And the way she has been acting holier than her fellow commissioners! I hope after this she does not show her face again to lie about IEBC affairs.
