Former Election Commission boss Wafula Chebukati lived nearly two years after doctors told him he had just six months left. His wife Mary shared this during his funeral Saturday in Trans Nzoia County. She explained how family support helped him fight brain cancer much longer than expected.

Doctors diagnosed Chebukati with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer that usually spreads fast. This type hits adults more than any other brain cancer. Most patients survive only four to six months, yet Chebukati fought for 21 months. His medical team linked his extended survival directly to strong family backing.

His children Jonathan, Rachel, and Emmanuel visited regularly. Their presence became crucial medicine that surprised even the specialists treating him. Mary thanked President William Ruto, along with political and religious leaders who supported her husband throughout his battle with cancer.

Rachel Chebukati remembered her father's determination when facing the diagnosis. "He was given four to six months to live; that's what the doctors said, and my dad said this sickness is not going to beat me." She mentioned he recovered well after surgery thanks to presidential help. Mary praised the medical team for staying committed even when the family almost gave up hope.
