Sabata Secondary School is set to be renamed after the former IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati.
This was announced on Saturday, March 8 2025, at Chebukati’s burial in Kiminini Trans Nzoia County by President William Ruto.
He also said that the government will construct fifteen new classrooms at the school and complete delayed projects in the country to spur development.
The Head of State added that Chebukati was a man of intelligence and integrity.
“He faced immense intimidation but chose to do the right thing. He also set a leadership of the electoral commission very high. Refusing to be blackmailed, threatened or intimidated,” he said.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary who was also present during the event urged the IEBC selection panel to identify a leader the country could trust.
“As we work to renew the IEBC, we must remember that the strength of institutions depends on the people leading them”, Mudavadi said.
