Kenya’s Parliament has started hearing petitions seeking the removal of four electoral commissioners who refused to endorse the declaration of President William Ruto as the winner of the August election, describing the vote tallying as opaque.
Four petitions are before the Parliamentary Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs accusing the four officials, including the vice-chairperson of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Juliana Cherera, of gross misconduct, incompetence, putting their offices into disrepute and violating the Constitution.
