A week after his retirement as the chairman of the electoral commission, Wafula Chebukati took the witness stand in a tribunal investigating the conduct of a former colleague.
Although not on the dock, Chebukati would defend his tenure at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), saying he had created the most suitable environment for his fellow commissioners, including the suspended Irene Masit facing the Aggrey Muchelule-led tribunal, to thrive.
"I ran an open-door policy as chair and any of the commissioners who had an issue, including commissioner Masit, always walked to my office," Chebukati would on Tuesday describe his working relationship with the immediate former commissioners, who also include Abdi Guliye, Boya Molu, Juliana Cherera, Francis Wanderi and Justus Nyang'aya.
