Former IEBC Commissioner Roselyne Akombe has expressed her readiness to return to Kenya and testify under oath about the 2017 presidential election.
Responding to a social media user, Pius Kinuthia, who accused her of refusing to share details of the election, Akombe stated that she had recommended the creation of an independent inquiry to look into the election.
On August 8, 2017, the Supreme Court nullified the presidential election over illegalities and irregularities.
"Thank you for starting this excellent debate. You may be aware that I delivered my end of assignment report to @IEBCKenya. Among other topics, I called for an independent inquiry to the 2017 election. I am ready to testify under oath. Do your part. Get it set up, I will fly back," Akombe tweeted on August 12, 2019.
Akombe fled to the United States a week before the repeat presidential election, citing fears for her life and concerns that the commission could not deliver a free, fair, and credible election.
