Condolences on the Passing of Former IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati

Dear Listers,

We at KICTANet are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former
Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairperson, Wafula
Chebukati.

We extend our condolences to his family, colleagues, friends, and
colleagues.

The late Chebukati played a role in fostering engagement between the IEBC
and organizations like KICTANet. We particularly appreciate his openness to
our discussions regarding the role of technology in elections.

He facilitated a vital dialogue, allowing our Election Observation team to
monitor the use of technology and providing us with a platform to share our
expertise and concerns.

We recall with gratitude the productive meeting we held with him and other
IEBC officials where we discussed critical issues such as online
misinformation, the use of digital technologies for information
dissemination, and the importance of real-time results broadcasting. His
leadership in these discussions was invaluable.

Chairman Chebukati’s commitment to open communication and collaboration was
essential in navigating the complex landscape of electoral technology. His
efforts paved the way for organizations like KICTANet to contribute to the
goal of free, fair, and credible elections in Kenya.

We remember his contributions with respect and gratitude.
