The family of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commissioner (IEBC) Returning Officer for Embakasi East constituency Daniel Mbolu Musyoka now believe that their kin was murdered over a failed election-related bribery attempt.
Musyoka's brother-in-law, Jackson Muimi and his sister Ann Mbolu revealed that Musyoka was a God-fearing man and that his death stemmed from a refusal to be bribed by his killers.
Muimi suggested that Musyoka could have been tempted by an unidentified person to manipulate the numbers in the just-concluded elections, whose presidential results had declared William Ruto as the president-elect.
“We know who Daniel is, he cannot be compromised by anyone. I suspect that someone must have attempted to bribe him to change the numbers in the just-concluded election, and he refused,” Muimi said.
Muimi and Ann affirmed that Musyoka was an honest person who had no enemies and would provide for his family regardless of their position.
“He is the most honest person we have in the family. I am married in Machakos and Musyoka was also able to provide for my husband and me whenever we were in need... He had no enemies, everywhere,” Ann said.
“We are just praying to God to guide the family he has left behind. He was the only breadwinner in the entire family.”
Oloitokitok police boss, Kipruto Ruto revealed on Tuesday, August 16 that Musyoka's body was dumped in a place where wild animals were common, but he was not mauled. In addition, the body had fresh wounds, indicating that the murder took place before his body was discovered.
The former IEBC official was also revealed to have had wounds on his arm, indicating that he was in a struggle with the killers.
Musyoka has been a national headline after IEBC chairperson, Wafula Chebukati, announced on Friday, August 12 that he had been reported missing.
Embakasi East Member of Parliament, Babu Owino, took to social media to offer his condolences to Musyoka's family, friends and colleagues in the murder involving the official stationed in his constituency.
"I am saddened by the death of former Embakasi East Constituency IEBC Returning Officer Mr Musyoka. I send my condolences to the family, friends and relatives.
"I urge the relevant authorities to conduct thorough investigations and bring the culprits to book," Babu Owino wrote.
