His formative years were spent in Bungoma County, where he imbibed the values and culture of his roots.His educational odyssey commenced at St. Peter\u2019s Mumias Boys High School, leading him to Bokoli Secondary School, and culminating in his secondary education at Lenana High School in Nairobi. Chebukati&#8217;s thirst for knowledge propelled him to the University of Nairobi, where he obtained a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) degree in 1985. Subsequently, he honed his legal acumen at the Kenya School of Law and was admitted to the roll of advocates in 1986. Not content with just one feather in his cap, he pursued a Master\u2019s degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Legal Career<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chebukati&#8217;s professional journey in the legal arena spanned over three decades, where he delved into diverse areas such as international commerce, trade and investment law, corporate law, governance, environmental law, litigation, dispute resolution, maritime law, and labor laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG-20250221-WA0008.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG-20250221-WA0008.jpg 720w, https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG-20250221-WA0008-300x247.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>His prowess in the legal domain shone through as he ran a successful sole proprietorship law firm for two decades before establishing Cootow &amp; Associates Advocates in Nairobi in 2006. His leadership as the managing partner of this firm was exemplary until January 2017 when he transitioned to his pivotal role at the IEBC, ensuring ethical practices and steering clear of conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Political Involvement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Chebukati briefly dipped his toes into the political waters by contesting the Saboti parliamentary seat in the 2007 general elections under the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, he gracefully bowed out after the outcome. His commitment to upholding democratic principles was unwavering, leading him to resign from active politics and refrain from future electoral pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tenure as IEBC Chairman<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chebukati&#8217;s legacy was etched in stone when he assumed the role of IEBC Chairman in January 2017, succeeding Ahmed Issack Hassan. His six-year tenure was a rollercoaster ride, marked by significant electoral events and controversies that tested his mettle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/FB_IMG_1740133359412.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/FB_IMG_1740133359412.jpg 720w, https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/FB_IMG_1740133359412-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From overseeing the tumultuous 2017 General Elections to navigating the stormy waters of the 2022 General Elections, Chebukati&#8217;s leadership was scrutinized, praised, and criticized in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recognition and Criticism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, President Ruto bestowed upon Chebukati the prestigious Elder of the Order of the Golden Heart (EGH), acknowledging his service to the nation. However, shadows of bias and corruption loomed over Chebukati, with allegations of conflict of interest surfacing in 2017, only to be dismissed by Parliament due to lack of evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personal Life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind the veil of public service, Chebukati cherished his private life, sharing it with his wife Mary Chebukati and their children. While Mary embarked on her own journey as Chairperson of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) in 2023, Chebukati found solace in his passion for golf, serving as captain and chairman of esteemed golf clubs in Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Post-IEBC Developments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since bidding adieu to his role at the IEBC in January 2023, Chebukati retreated from the limelight, choosing a path of introspection and privacy. Recent reports hint at his ailing health, raising concerns about his well-being until the family confirms his passing-on today on February 21st 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EDITOR&#8217;S PICK \ud83d\udd4a\ufe0f\ud83d\ude4f.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, Wafula Chebukati&#8217;s life is a tapestry woven with threads of dedication, integrity, and resilience. As we reflect on his journey, may his legacy endure, and may his soul rest in eternal peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the realm of Kenyan politics and governance, one name that has left a lasting impact is that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4863,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[6],"tags":[114,26,116,115],"class_list":["post-4862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-former-iebc-chair","tag-kenya","tag-rest-in-eternal-peace-","tag-wafula-chebukati"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.11 -
