IEBC Four

The National Assembly Justice and Legal Affairs Committee has recommended the setting up of a tribunal to try the four IEBC Commissioners under probe.

They are accused of gross violation of the constitution, incompetence, and gross misconduct during the August 9 elections.

The committee chaired by George Murugara also recommended that President William Ruto suspends the four commissioners awaiting their tribunal trial.

The four are Vice Chairperson Juliana Cherera, Justus Nyang’aya, Francis Wanderi, and Irine Masit.

They differed with their chairman Wafula Chebukati on the outcome of the presidential elections and disowned the final results.

“The committee recommends that the President suspends the four commissioners herein pending the tribunal verdict,” said Murugara.

The JLAC chairman tabled the report on Thursday morning.

The House is expected to debate the report Thursday afternoon for either adoption as it is, with amendments or total rejection.

If adopted, then President Ruto could as soon as tomorrow suspend the four.
