Chebukati; Kindly Pray For Us And Our Families

Chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Wafula Chebukati has asked Kenyans to pray for him while revealing that together with his fellow commissioners, they are going through a difficult time.

Mr. Chebukati, who was speaking during a prayer meeting with religious leaders at Bomas in Nairobi on Wednesday, which will be the national tallying center, said families of commissioners and other IEBC officials are living in fear.

“Behind the scenes for all of us are our families, the ones who suffer silently, you may not know but our wives, children, and spouses need prayers so that they can stand with us in this journey,” Chebukati said.

“Pray for the IEBC officials who will supervise the elections in all 290 constituencies, including police officers who are giving us protection,” he said.

According to Mr. Chebukati, police officers are continuing to transport voting materials to various parts of the country.

Mr. Chebukati made the call a few days after his wife, Mary, revealed how the 2017 election led to her family struggling.

Mrs. Chebukati asked Kenyans to pray for her husband to be able to lead the activity in a peaceful and calm manner.
