“Chebukati has not been firm enough and has not asserted his independence… He has allowed himself to controlled by external forces… How do you proceed with elections knowing that half of the country is not going to participate… and that the same problems that led to nullification are likely to be repeated?… You see, my personality requires that I say the truth, if Jubilee think that that is being pro NASA it is their problem… I will not be going back home anytime soon…. I don’t feel safe there, never felt safe ”
-Akombe on BBC
