Condolences on the Passing of Former IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati

I join you in mourning the passing of former IEBC Chairperson Wafula
Chebukati. His willingness to engage with stakeholders on the role of
technology in elections was commendable and played a crucial role in
advancing transparency and accountability in Kenya’s electoral process.

His openness to dialogue and collaboration with organizations like KICTANet
set a strong foundation for continuous improvements in electoral
technology. His contributions will be remembered with great respect.

My heartfelt condolences to his family, colleagues, and all who had the
privilege of working with him.

Best regards,
Alexander Kathanzu.
