Former IEBC Commissioner Roselyn Akombe has continued to express optimism that justice will be served over the murder of Chris Msando.
Msando, the former electoral commission's IT manager, went missing exactly six years ago today on Friday, July 28, 2017.
His body was found four days later in a thicket in Kikuyu alongside the remains of a young lady who was later identified as Carol Ngumbu.
Remembering her colleague on Tuesday, Akombe said it felt unfair to see those behind the brutal murder and their enablers roam around freely.
"It has been six years since they brutally tortured and murdered you my staff, Chris Msando," she said in a statement.
"But we know that justice will be served someday as we celebrate you as a shujaa for electoral justice and good governance. Continue resting in power."
At the time of his death, Msando had only been in the job for two months after his predecessor was suspended for refusing to cooperate with an audit firm tasked with cleaning the voters' register.
Msando's murder came just days before the August 8, 2017, general elections which he had expressed confidence would not be rigged because the electronic voting system he had helped develop could not be hacked.
His body bore the hallmarks of torture when his remains were found early morning half naked. He had deep scratches and cuts on his back and hand.
Autopsy results revealed that he had been tortured and strangled to death.
Reports indicated that one of his hands had been severed, pointing to a painful death.
Ironically, on the day Msando's remains were found, he was slated to oversee the public testing of the Kenya Integrated Electoral Management System (KIEMS).
A similar electronic system which was used in the 2013 election failed, leading to manual identification and transmission of votes.
