Wabukala was appointed by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta on January 18, 2022.
He replaced Philip Kinisu who resigned in August 2016, after National Assembly's Justice and Legal Affairs Committee recommended his removal from office after his company Esaki Limited was adversely mentioned in the National Youth Service scandal.
Wabukala was among the six names that had been proposed to Kenyatta for appointment, others were William Kirwa, Philemon Mwaisaka, Peter Ondieki, Rose Osoro and Erastus Iguna.
