Roselyn Akambo, moja ya maofisa wa Tume ya Uchaguzi Kenya azuiliwa na wanausalama kusafiri kwenda Marekani saa chache kabla ya ndege kuruka.
=========================================
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Commissioner, Roselyn Akombe, was on Tuesday night (August 15) blocked from boarding a flight to the United States (US).
It is believed that State Officers pulled Dr. Akombe out of the plane at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), on accounts that she had failed to produce a clearance from the Head of Public Service.
With Dr. Akombe holding dual citizenship of Kenya and the U.S., it took the intervention of the U.S. Embassy to be released from police custody and be transferred to the government pavilion at JKIA.
However, reports indicate that Dr. Akombe has since been cleared this morning (August 16) and allowed to travel to the U.S., under the supervision of Chief of Staff, Joseph Kinyua.
According to the official IEBC twitter handle, the commissioner is travelling to the U.S. for an official meeting and is expected to return on Sunday, August 20. The state officials involved have also apologized to her for the inconveniences.
