Wafula Chebukati: Cause of Death and His Legacy
Cause of Death
Former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairperson Wafula Chebukati passed away on February 20, 2025, due to complications arising from a recurrent brain tumor and cardiac arrest. His family revealed that he was first diagnosed with brain cancer in April 2023 and underwent surgery in Germany. Although he initially recovered, the tumor recurred in April 2024, requiring another surgical intervention.
Unfortunately, a third recurrence in December 2024 led to his hospitalization in Nairobi. His condition worsened, and he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on February 12, 2025. He ultimately succumbed to cardiac arrest on February 20. The family has planned his burial for March 8, 2025, at his home in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County.
Who Was Wafula Chebukati?
Wafula Chebukati was a Kenyan lawyer and administrator, best known for serving as the Chairperson of the IEBC from 2017 to 2023. He played a critical role in overseeing Kenya’s 2017 and 2022 General Elections. Before joining the electoral body, he had an extensive legal career, founding Cootow & Associates Advocates, where he specialized in commercial law and governance matters. 
His Legacy in Kenya’s Electoral System
Chebukati will be remembered as a polarizing yet pivotal figure in Kenya’s electoral history. His tenure at the IEBC was marked by both controversy and commendable resilience:
-
2017 General Election – The Supreme Court nullified the 2017 presidential election due to irregularities, a historic first in Africa. Despite this, Chebukati oversaw the repeat election, which reaffirmed Uhuru Kenyatta’s victory.
-
2022 General Election – He presided over a highly contested election that saw William Ruto declared President despite internal divisions within the IEBC. Four commissioners disowned the results, but the Supreme Court upheld the election’s legitimacy, cementing Chebukati’s reputation as a firm and independent electoral official.
-
Defender of Electoral Integrity – Chebukati’s legacy is deeply tied to his unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of law, even when faced with intense political pressure. His stance during the 2022 elections, where he resisted alleged interference and threats, earned him both admiration and criticism.
-
Electoral Reforms – Under his leadership, the IEBC adopted technological advancements, such as the Kenya Integrated Election Management System (KIEMS), which improved transparency in voting and result transmission.
Final Reflections
Wafula Chebukati’s death marks the loss of a significant figure in Kenya’s democratic journey. While his tenure at IEBC was not without controversy, he is widely regarded as a man who stood firm in the face of political turbulence. His contributions to electoral reforms and governance will remain a subject of debate, but his role in shaping Kenya’s democratic processes is undeniable.
May he rest in peace.
Maandy Calls Out Celebrities for Using Babies as Content for Clout
Kenyan rapper Maandy has recently voiced her concerns over a growing trend among celebrities who, she believes, are using their children as tools for online content and personal branding. In a candid discussion, Maandy emphasized the importance of preserving children’s privacy and allowing them to experience a normal upbringing, free from the pressures of public exposure.
This sentiment echoes previous remarks by socialite Huddah Monroe, who criticized fellow celebrities for overexposing their children on social media platforms. Huddah expressed discomfort with the idea of infants being used to generate online traction, stating, “I did not know babies are props. When you are not trending no more. Get a baby.” She further highlighted the undue stress placed on these young ones, noting that some appear “tired out here on social media and they are barely 5.”
The debate over the ethical implications of featuring children prominently in online content is not new. Comedian Eric Omondi has previously faced backlash for publicity stunts involving fake pregnancies and staged relationships, which many perceived as insensitive and exploitative. Such actions have sparked discussions about the lengths to which public figures might go to remain relevant in the digital age.
As the conversation continues, it raises essential questions about the responsibilities of public figures in balancing their personal lives with their public personas. While social media offers a platform for engagement and brand building, the well-being and autonomy of children should remain a priority, ensuring they are not unduly thrust into the limelight for the sake of content creation.
Ken Mijungu’s TV47 Contract Terminated Weeks After Joining the Station
Renowned journalist Ken Mijungu has parted ways with TV47, a mere few weeks after his much-publicized hiring. The separation, effective February 22, 2025, came after Mijungu requested additional time to assess his role at the station. In response, TV47’s management decided to revoke the service agreement dated January 31, 2025. Despite the abrupt end to this engagement, the station expressed openness to future collaborations with Mijungu.
Prior to joining TV47, Mijungu had a distinguished career at KTN, where he served as a prime-time news anchor and current affairs host for four years. His departure from KTN was reportedly due to contract-related reasons.
Mijungu’s extensive media experience includes roles at CCTV Africa, Mediamax Network Ltd, and Nation Media Group (NTV), where he held positions ranging from news desk reporter to senior reporter and talk show host. In addition to his journalism career, he is a trained lawyer and entrepreneur, managing a car hire business alongside his media endeavors.
As of now, Mijungu has not publicly disclosed his next professional move following his brief tenure at TV47.
Stolen Toyota Fortuner Found Stripped Bare Just an Hour After Theft in Nairobi
In a concerning incident highlighting the escalating vehicle theft in Nairobi, a Toyota Fortuner was stolen and found stripped of its parts just an hour later. The vehicle, taken from a parking area in the city, was swiftly dismantled by thieves aiming to sell its components on the black market.
This event underscores a broader trend of organized car theft syndicates operating in Nairobi. Recent reports have detailed how these groups target specific vehicle models, including Toyota Axio, Toyota Fielder, and Mazda Demio. They employ advanced techniques to bypass security systems, disable tracking devices, and quickly disassemble vehicles for parts. For instance, in March 2024, three suspects were arrested in Utawala with several stolen vehicles and parts, indicating a well-coordinated operation.
Vehicle owners are advised to enhance their security measures by installing advanced anti-theft systems, using steering wheel locks, and parking in secure, well-monitored areas. Authorities continue to investigate these incidents and are urging the public to report any suspicious activities to aid in curbing the rise of such thefts.
Nairobi County Dumps Garbage at KPLC Offices in Protest Over Prolonged Power Outage
In a dramatic turn of events, Nairobi County officials resorted to unconventional measures to address a prolonged power outage affecting critical services. Frustrated by the lack of response from the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), the county dispatched a garbage truck to KPLC’s headquarters as a form of protest.
The power disruption had severely impacted operations at City Hall Annex, leaving the building without electricity for over a week. This outage not only hampered daily administrative functions but also posed significant challenges to staff and residents relying on county services.
The decision to send a garbage truck to KPLC’s offices was symbolic, aiming to highlight the county’s dissatisfaction with the utility provider’s handling of the situation. This act underscored the escalating tensions between Nairobi County and KPLC, especially concerning unresolved debts and service delivery issues.
In December 2021, KPLC disconnected power to Nairobi County’s headquarters over an outstanding debt of KSh 1.5 billion, leading to significant operational disruptions.
The recent protest with the garbage truck reflects the county’s growing impatience with recurring power issues and the perceived lack of prompt action from KPLC. It also brings to light the broader challenges faced by urban centers in ensuring reliable utility services amidst financial and administrative constraints.
As Nairobi continues to grapple with infrastructure and service delivery challenges, such incidents emphasize the need for improved communication and collaboration between county administrations and utility providers to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
