The National Assembly’s Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) had recommended to the president to form a tribunal to investigate the four over their election conduct.
The National Assembly on Thursday, December 1, adopted JLAC’s report.
However the four did not appear before the parliamentary committee
Ruto has directed the Muchelule team to expedite the probe and submit its report to him.
During the suspension, the four commissioners won’t be allowed to dispense their duties, but will be paid half of their monthly salaries.
The tribunal can recommend the commissioners’ sacking or full reinstatement.
