    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Mr. Wanyonyi Wafula Chebukati stated that he is from Trans Nzoia County and was born in Bungoma County in 1961. He went to St. Peter‟s Mumias and Bokoli Secondary for „O‟ Levels and Lenana High School for „A‟ Levels. He went to the University of Nairobi for a Bachelors Degree in Law and the Kenya School of Law for a post-graduate Diploma in Law. He is the managing partner of the Nairobi Office of Cootow and Associates Advocates specialising in conveyance, labor laws, mergers, acquisitions and treaties. He has been a consultant for development of rules and regulations for Maritime Laws of Kenya. He stated that he applied for the position of the Chairperson to serve the public away from his long career as an advocate in private practice for over 30 years. While responding to questions from Members of the Committee, he stated that he applied in the second advertisement and he had no idea that it would be re-advertised. He was influenced by his desire to contribute to efforts to improve the institution having watched the challenges that are affecting the current Commission. In his view, the greatest challenge facing the IEBC is its credibility and mistrust by the main actors in the political process."
