Ex-IEBC commissioner Roselyn Akombe remembers Chris Msando on 5th death anniversary
Akombe, through her Twitter account on Thursday, remained hopeful that justice will one day be served to bring to book Msando's killers.
"Five years since you were handed to the brutal killers to thwart efforts of delivering a credible election in Kenya. Though your betrayers have been rewarded & electoral integrity remains in peril, JUSTICE will be served, no matter how long it takes IEBC," wrote Akombe.
Msando was found dead on July 28, 2017, four days after disappearing during the run-up to the last General Election.
His body was found dumped at Muguga Forest in Kikuyu, Kiambu County alongside the body of a young woman.
Autopsy reports revealed that Msando was strangled to death by bare hands. His body was also found with deeply slit wrists showing signs of torture.
Five years later the file is still with the investigating team, and answers to the mystery murder have remained unanswered.
On her part, Akombe silently fled the country to the US where she resigned eight days before the October 26, 2017 repeat presidential election. She cited infigting at the electoral commission and political threats to her life as some of the reasons for quitting her job.
Msando had been tasked with overseeing public testing of the Kenya Integrated Electoral Management System (KIEMS). He was confident that the electoral voting system would not allow rigging of votes during elections.
