Where is former IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati? Netizens have raised numerous questions about the whereabouts of the former IEBc boss, who declared President William Ruto the winner in the 2022 general elections, despite the presence of deep state candidate Raila Odinga on the ballot.
Attempts to join the court of appeals as judge did not bear any fruit, as his name even failed to appear on the shortlist from JSC. President William Ruto appointed his wife Mary Wanyonyi as the chairperson of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) in 2023.
An image circulated on Facebook in May 2024 showing Kenya’s former electoral commission chair, Wafula Chebukati, on a hospital bed. A claim about his illness and hospitalization accompanied the image. However, several fact-checks declared it to be false news.
Now new sources indicate that all is not well with Wafula Chebukati. According to blogger Aoko Otieno, the former IEBC is not healthy.
The blogger disclosed, “Chebukati has been dealing with an eye issue for some time and received treatment at Aga Khan.”
“Since Kamagut Thugs were aware that Chebukati might speak at some point,
“His omukhasi was used to change Mzee’s medication and was thus taken to a different hospital, then boom, inexplicable migraines started.
“Remember when he was flown to Germany wakasema ni prokobanda (propaganda), bas, he was airlifted na St. Johns Air ambulance at sh28M.
“He was there for three months wakamfungua bonnet ya kichwa to check the root of the headaches. Mzee has never been the same. He’s barely coherent. Hajielewi. Ni zombie tu.
“If he insists on going somewhere, he’s taken around the house, or compound ya his home, hapa Karen, then ana ambiwa tumefika! Then anarudishwa kwa kiti.
“His family hata washagawa Mali yake. The 1st born daughter, who is a lawyer at Sheria House, was given Nairobi home; the 2nd born, who is the 1st son and a D.O. somewhere in Eldoret, was given Kitale home; and the 3rd born, who is a business guy and IT expert, was given Nyali home.
“His Omusiele was rewarded with the Commission on Revenue Allocation chair, saizi anapelekwa tu na GK na state security.
“Mali iligawanyiwa Diani during a family vacation. That IEBC chair seat is jinxed. It never ends well for those who sit on it. Watu wakufe juu umehongwa, and you think utakula ulambe sahani? Ng’ou!”
