The missing Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) returning officer for the Embakasi East constituency has been found dead.

Daniel Mbolu Musyoka was found in a river near Kilombero, Loitoktok by a group of herders who reported the situation to police officers. The body of the 53-year-old was identified by his sisters Mary Mwikali and Ann Mboya at a local morgue in Loitokitok sub-mortuary.

Musyoka went missing on August 11 at East Africa Aviation tallying center after he reportedly excused himself to make a private call at around 9:45 am.

Former IEBC commissioner Roselyn Akombe expressed her sadness on the incident and called for speedy investigations on the incident.

Akombe who fled to New York and resigned in the run-up to the 2017 Presidential Repeat election, said she was aware of the struggles her former staff and colleagues were facing during the tallying of presidential elections.
