Akombe who is also an advocate for protection of Human Rights has previously worked with the African Union AU as an economist.
She resigned from the IEBC following election’s controversial results that were announced in 2013 and subsequent threats to her life. She would then continue with her activism but this time online with intentions of unearthing the bare truth about what exactly transpired before Uhuru and Ruto were sworn to power.
