In GOK, you must be cleared to travel if you are in Job Group S and above. Nothing new there. It is mandatory to obtain clearance

IEBC Commissioner Roseline Akombe was last night removed from the plane while heading to the U.S., she was held in custody over the night. Jubilee uncomfortable with her travel perhaps fearing she might spill the bean on the rigging that happened at Bomas.https://www.kenyanlivefeed.com/the-moment-roselyn-akombe-was-removed-from-the-plane-and-arrested/

I saw how excited Roselyn was at the vetting committee... she was gona foster "trust" at the IEBC :o... and build bridges among the various stakeholders. Such naivety. Adding Kenyan elections to her international resume is a blot. She needs to return to her UN job while she can.SAD!!!!

She is a great person. She is a US citizen just you know.
She could testify via video link. Or risk it and come in person.
Kenya is a Mafia society that can not be reformed.
The only way to reform it is to turn over election to county boards. An innocent Msando was killed because of elections.She could testify via video link. Or risk it and come in person.
County election boards is one option but also we should seriously consider the parliamentary system so that we can completely eliminate the presidency. I think the presidency is a big part of the tribalism, corruption and impunity in this country because of the way it was abused by Kenyatta and Moi. We need a fresh start with a new concept of government and a new name for the CEO of our country just to do away with that terrible legacy that Kenyattaa and Moi created.Kenya is a Mafia society that can not be reformed.

I don't know why we emulate everything from the west and take zero inspiration from our own culture which was very collegial and anti central leadership. I read that the Kikuyu for example, had uthamaki installed for sometime in the 18th century but only for a short while because soon thereafter the elders determined it was bad for the people: the muthamaki tended to act for his own interests and not the people's interests as had been the norm of leadership in the community, so they demolished it and ensured collegial leadership at all levels. The top chief, part of the topmost collegial structure was more of a symbol than anything.
Why do we even have a "president" or a "prime minister" in our part of the world? Why isn't he the "chief" or "Laibon" or the "Orkoiyot" Why have an adversarial parliamentary system and not the Njuri ncheke? We despise them because they are ours.
I believe these are the things that brought war to Africa in my opinion. These western systems do not go with our culture. Yes, Kenyatta took advantage of the African collegial spirit of the nationalists of the early years but it was only because he tasted and then was tempted by the power of these Western central systems. He then became obsessed with keeping it from those who expected him to continue in the team spirit and unity of before. But he was like them until the presidency seduced him.
We are always talking about the ills of colonialism and the first and second president but I think our leaders made the blunder of crafting systems that took no account of African values of leadership at all. We borrowed nothing from our own history. We just continued with the same contemptuous attitude to everything African that we inherited from the colonists who demolished those systems in the first place. We are essentially an English experiment. We could have borrowed some and still retained something fundamentally African.
249. Objects, authority and funding of commissions and independent offices.
(1) The objects of the commissions and the independent offices are to—
(a) protect the sovereignty of the people;
(b) secure the observance by all State organs of democratic values and principles; and

(2) The commissions and the holders of independent offices—
(a) are subject only to this Constitution and the law; and
(b) are independent and not subject to direction or control by any person or authority.
(3) Parliament shall allocate adequate funds to enable each commission and independent office to perform its functions and the budget of each commission and independent office shall be a separate vote.
With Ruto in charge dont expect any change that will benefit all.
I know the voting went well but what happened after that?
I thought returning officers from each polling booth submitted their numbers. Were these changed???

And that is the question. The process of making the vote available, and collating of the ballots seemed open and fair (if you ignore the issues with dodgy polling stations), but the tallying and streaming at the NTC was where the magic happened. IEBC has worked hard over the last week doctoring and making the primary documents fit their narrative.
I am hopeful that NASA have this info and that they were wise to keep it to themselves to avoid evidence destruction.
The problem is that Jubilee and IEBC knows where their weaknesses are and have had enough time to destroy the primary evidence of the rigging. NASA will have to use some secondary evidence and but will probably rely heavily on circumstantial evidence to convince the court that there was rigging.
The the evidentiary standard that this court applies is therefore going to be very important. There is the stated evidentiary standard as stated by the law and then there is the "real" evidentiary standard applied by the judges. We must not forget that the evidence that CORD must submit to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt is and has always been in the custody of IEBC, therefore, for this court to be fair, once NASA has presented a prima facie case, the court must place a higher standard on IEBC to show that NASA's case is without merit.
IEBC is properly funded by tax payers not only to conduct free and fair elections but they must keep impeccably record because it is very foreseeable that its decisions will be contested given the very nature and history of presidential elections in Kenya. Accordingly, if IEBC comes up with unacceptable answers such as "they cannot find some Form 34a" OR "cannot explain why some 34a's are altered", some kind of of vague or unexplainable discrepancies, and suspicious omissions or commissions, this court must come very hard on them by nullifying this elections. Chubukati, the commissioners and the CEO are paid a lot of money and they must be held to a very high standard.With Ruto in charge dont expect any change that will benefit all.

Why does she have to lie that her flight was delayed while the information is out there that she was stopped from boarding after she had checked in and given a boarding pass. In fact her luggage had to be removed from the plane. What official duties did she have in New York. Just like Msando's death, the disappearance of forms 34a's and now the Akombe flight saga-Kenyans smell a big fat rat.
The story is that Akombe's security detail has been withdrawn. I've often wondered why a govt would even bother providing security when they know.....when it's time.I heard Raila say that SOME commissioners have had their security withdrawn. This if true, in a post-Msando world must be truly terrifying. I would immediately collect all the evidence I could find and dump it on Al-Jazeera while I drove to TZ then flew to SA and then the States.

Akombe should have remained "bolted" when she left last month. She's going no where, Msando's murder served two purposes. Facilitating access to the servers and more importantly as a means to scare any wayward commissioners and IEBC staff.
None amongst them is sleeping at night.
IEBC should fight for its own survival otherwise it becomes irrelevant. They should have their own security detail like the president has otherwise it becomes another body with no function other than Ruto's. Uhuru has systematically made independent bodies dysfunctional unlike Kifaki who tried to stay out.The story is that Akombe's security detail has been withdrawn.
