I wish to send my condolences to the family and friends of former IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati.
Whereas Mr Chebukati was a very controversial figure in his capacity as IEBC Chairman, it would be remiss of us not to acknowledge that he progressed the Kenyan Diaspora Voting Rights agenda more than all his predecessors combined.
I had the opportunity to work closely with Mr Chebukati in pursuit of diaspora voter registration and voting rights.
Most importantly, Mr Chebukati was the first high ranking state official to recognise the existence of Diaspora County 48 Kenya.
Despite his failings in discharging his duties especially ensuring free and fair elections in Kenya, as a diaspora leader I must acknowledge that Mr Chebukati did a lot to ensure our voting rights in the diaspora.
May his soul rest in eternal peace
