Former CEO of Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC) Ezra Chiloba is a man of inspiring history. Since his childhood in Kwanza, Trans Nzoia County, Chiloba has been through a lot before his breakthrough.
The 40-year-old Chiloba was born and raised in Kwanza constituency. He attended Mutua Primary School where he obtained his Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) in 1993. According to his teacher, Chiloba was a bright, obedient and disciplined student which made him perform excellently at school.
Chiloba’s hard work earned him a place at the St. Joseph Boys High School in Kitale. It’s at this stage that the former CEO started experiencing challenges in his education.
At form two, he had to drop out due to the lack of school fees. By good luck, Florence Mutua, his aunt took over to save the situation. She enrolled him at Kwanza Boys High School.
She had to sell vegetables to buy paraffin for Chiloba to study at night. The school also provided Chiloba with bursary since he was a needy but top performing student.
After scooping an A- in his KCSE examination, Chiloba joined The University of Nairobi School of Law where he graduated in 2003. Chiloba had served different capacities at both UNDP and Kenya Human Rights Commission.
In 2015, Chiloba was well known in the country after becoming the CEO of the IEBC.
