REVEALED: What Chebukati Said To His Son Before Death
The son of former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati has recounted the final moments he spent with his father before his untimely death.
Emmanuel Chebukati, speaking at his father’s burial service at his house in Sabatia-Kiminini Constituency, hailed him as a bold and joyful man.
Emmanuel shared his father’s last remarks with the mourners who had joined the family in paying their final respects to the former chairman.
Emmanuel had just returned to the country after a convention in Spain.
He had returned with a genuine Spanish hat, which the Spanish wear during bullfighting events, and placed it on top of his father’s head.
“I gave him the hat, and I put it on top of his head, and he immediately said to me, ‘I feel like a bullfighter already,’ and then he went on to say, ‘Nobody can mess with me when I am in my bullfighting hat,'” Emmanuel narrated.

According to Emmanuel, the courageous and no-nonsense Chebukati with the brave bullfighting hat was the world’s Chebukati, but he was totally different as a parent, husband, and brother.
“But through my eyes and the eyes of the family members seated here, you will see him as simply the best father, husband, and brother you’ll ever have,” he revealed.
“It is said that if you think Chebukati is tough and doesn’t smile, then you don’t know Chebukati.”
Emmanuel, Jonathan, and Rachel all praised their father, describing him as the best father who guided them properly throughout their childhood.
