Suppose G is a complex Lie group and H is a closed complex subgroup of G. Let G′ denote the commutator subgroup of G. If there are no nonconstant holomorphic functions on G/H and H is not contained in any proper parabolic subgroup of G, then Akhiezer [2] asked whether every analytic hypersurface in G which is invariant under the right action of H is also invariant under the right action of G′. In this paper we answer a related question in two settings. Under the assumptions stated above we show that the orbits of the radical of G in G/H cannot be Cousin groups, provided G/H is Kähler. We also introduce an intermediate fibration of G/H induced by the holomorphic reduction of the radical orbits and resolve the related question in a situation arising from this fibration.
