Winning is always a great feeling and with it comes some sense of self belief and determination to even achieve more in the future.
So what then happens when you win but your friends or colleagues fail to recognize your win?
Well, such is the story of IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati who has today had a rough day after Kenyans on twitter decided to lash out at him for apparently bagging an award he did not deserve.
Chebukati scooped the Electoral Conflict Management Award during the International Electoral Affairs Symposium and International Electoral Awards.
Electoral Conflict Management Award Winner goes to
Central Elections Commission, Palestine Wanyonyi Wafula Chebukati (IEBC, Kenya)— Electoral Commission (@ECGhanaOfficial) January 29, 2019
He scooped the award alongside slain IEBC ICT manager Chris Msando who was awarded ICPS’s Posthumous Integrity Award in Ghana.
“Msando was awarded alongside chairman Wafula Chebukati who scooped the Electoral Conflict Management Award during the International Electoral Affairs Symposium and International Electoral Awards…’ This was all good until they decided to fete Chebukati. What an insult…” posted one Kenyan on twitter
Below are More Reactions By Kenyans:
“Chebukati”,” Msando” and “award” in the same sentence is sacrilegious. Give Msando some respect pls.
