Late Chris Msando mother's message to Kenyans ahead of August 9th elections

Mary Aloo, the 85-year-old mother to the late IEBC manager Chris Msando has appealed to Kenyans to make a wise decision in the upcoming elections by electing a leader who will steer the country forward and protect it from any internal or external aggression.

Speaking at her home in Lifunga-Kobiero, Ugenya sub-county, Aloo drummed up support for Azimio candidate Raila Odinga saying he was the best bet in the upcoming elections. 

"I want to urge Kenyans to vote for Raila he is the one who will change this country," she said.

The late Msando’s mother said she is still in pain over the murder of her son who was brutally killed in the run-up to the 2017 General Election.

She regretted that since the demise of her son, the government has remained silent on what transpired and all that she’s left with are the sweet memories of her late last born son Chris Msando.

"Since Chris died I have been in so much pain. Even his children have been really disturbed. We are yet to get justice in court," she said.

"We have never received any information from the government regarding the death of my son... We have even never been called to court over the issue." 

The family of Chris Msando will gather this Saturday, July 30 at their home in Lifunga-Kobiero for a commemoration ceremony in honour of the deceased.

The murder of Chris Msando is one of Kenya's unresolved high-profile cases.

Msando had been tasked with overseeing public testing of the Kenya Integrated Electoral Management System (KIEMS). He was confident that the electoral voting system would not allow rigging of votes during elections.

Msando was found dead on July 28, 2017, four days after disappearing during the run-up to the last General Election.

His body was found dumped at Muguga Forest in Kikuyu, Kiambu County alongside the body of a young woman. 

Meanwhile, Former IEBC commissioner Roselyn Akombe has also remembered the late ICT Manager at the electoral commission Chris Msando exactly five years after he was brutally murdered.
