President William Ruto has sacked Irene Masit as IEBC commissioner following recommendations by Justice Aggrey Muchelule tribunal and announced a vacancy for her position.

Last month, the tribunal investigating the conduct of four Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) officials recommended that Ms Masit be removed from office.
