Former IEBC ICT manager Chris Msando
NAIROBI, KENYA: NASA Coalition has welcomed United States of America and United Kingdom’s gesture to assist with investigations into IEBC staff Chris Msando’s murder.
The body of Msando was on Monday found at City Mortuary in Nairobi, a day after he was reported missing.
“Our position is for speedy acceptance of US and UK offers to assist in investigating Chris Msando killing, We have been relieved to see our partners come to assist despite silence from Attorney General Githu Muigai, Deputy President William Ruto and President Uhuru Kenyatta,” said Musalia Mudavadi, NASA.
US and UK on Monday offered to release two of their elite investigating bodies (FBI and Scotland Yard) after Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Keriako Tobiko directed a probe into Msando’s killings.
He called on the government to provide adequate security to senior IEBC officials for credible elections.
Police said Msando’s body was discovered in Kikuyu forest and the mortuary records show that it was brought in on Saturday morning, alongside that of an unidentified woman at the same spot.
The late has been described as a knowledgeable person, humble and charismatic by his colleagues.
Those who served with him at the IEBC including Andrew Limo, Tabitha Mutemi and Ronnel Onchagwa described the late Msando as an eloquent person who exuded great passion and in-depth knowledge of technology. His vehicle had earlier been found abandoned in Roysambu, Nairobi.
