As the burial of the former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairperson Wafula Chebukati draws near, the government has issued strict guidelines to ensure a peaceful and dignified send-off for the deceased.

Trans Nzoia County Commissioner Gideon Oyagi while addressing the press on Thursday, March 6, warned that security agents would be on high alert to stop any potential disruptions.

Oyagi cautioned that security officers will not permit the assembly of groups of people in a manner suggesting political interests, adding that no form of mischief will be allowed. "We are not going to condone any form of hooliganism, which is becoming a norm in this region where politicians are taking advantage of funerals to flex their political muscles," the County Commissioner stated.
