Former IEBC Commissioner Roselyn Akombe has expressed concern following claims by the Auditor General that the government is unable to fully account for Ksh 1.3 trillion reportedly withdrawn from the National Treasury.
The issue first gained public attention after Senior Counsel Paul Muite shared a statement on X (formerly Twitter), urging the government to provide clear answers regarding the funds.
Muite questioned how such a significant amount of money could be withdrawn without proper public accountability, noting that if the funds were used for national development projects, transparency should not be an issue.
He further urged Kenyans to speak up, arguing that many citizens may not fully grasp the magnitude of the amount in question.
Roselyn Akombe later took to X to comment on the matter, questioning what she described as the silence of many Kenyans amid the reports.
Akombe has previously been vocal in criticizing President William Ruto’s administration over governance and accountability concerns.
Meanwhile, President Ruto has recently called on Kenyans to work together with the government ahead of the upcoming General Election.
The Head of State urged leaders in the opposition to present alternative agendas to voters, stating that Kenyans will ultimately elect leaders based on their track record rather than criticism alone.
The developments come amid heightened political debate as the country slowly shifts focus toward the next electoral cycle.
