The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), which is in charge of supervising elections in Kenya, was until recently headed by Wafula Wanyonyi Chebukati, its immediate past chairperson.
Chebukati is regarded as the most despised person in Kenya at the moment since he is held accountable for "cooking" the results of the presidential election, which he revealed while reading off a piece of paper rather than the ones that had been officially confirmed by all the commissioners. The Supreme Court of Kenya received a petition about the presidential election as a result of his conduct and the lack of openness in the way the election results were communicated. However the highest court in the land still sanctioned "Chebukati's winner" as the duly elected president to the utter shock of most Kenyans.
We know that in January 2017, Uhuru Kenyatta, the former president of Kenya, named Wafula Chebukati to the position for a six-year term. But some rather interesting stuff had already happened in Chebukati's life before that appointment. And some of these things happened in Kenyan politics.
