In her post on March 16, 2026, Akombe asked, "So, tell me please, if you destroy/buy everything, how are you going to run this country?"
The message, which garnered over 22,000 views, hundreds of likes, and significant reposts, appears to critique perceived efforts to undermine or control key institutions, media houses, and economic assets under the current administration.
Akombe, who resigned from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission in 2017 citing integrity concerns during a disputed election period, has emerged as a vocal critic of governance issues.
Her latest remark follows a series of events, including reports of interference in private entities like the Nairobi Hospital and changes in media ownership that some view as reducing independence.
She has previously commented on scandals within the government, describing systemic problems that she believes threaten national stability.
The post resonates amid ongoing public debates over accountability, corruption allegations, and the management of public and private resources.
Critics interpret it as a warning that aggressive consolidation of power or assets could leave little functional infrastructure or trust for effective leadership.
Supporters of the government might see it as partisan rhetoric, but the question highlights broader anxieties about sustainability and the long-term impact of current policies on the country's ability to function.
Akombe's intervention adds to the chorus of voices questioning the direction of leadership as political temperatures rise toward future elections.
Her background in electoral oversight lends weight to her observations, prompting calls for reflection on how institutions are preserved rather than diminished.
As reactions continue online, the statement underscores persistent tensions between those in power and those advocating for transparency and restraint.
