        Thing is @IEBCKenya is Jubilee and the reverse is also true. Roselyn Akombe is our hero. Chebukati should also resign ASAP

        That was wrong for her. We should always have strong men and women at the helm of such important commissions like @IEBCKenya

        @wmnjoya fear for her life come as the last point. The main reason she resign is; IEBC can't hold credible election come 26/10.
