Former IEBC Commissioner Roselyn Akombe has exposed the rot at the electoral agency, providing the first insider evidence that the August 8, 2017, polls could have been compromised. It came just a week after three IEBC commissioners dramatically quit, blaming chairman Wafula Chebukati for incompetence and inability to lead. Akombe said election years are a harvest season at IEBC, with many tales of how procurement evaluation committees make a killing. Akombe said the country should consider having two foreign commissioners on the IEBC to mitigate against bias and political interference.
