The parliamentary joint select committee probing suitability of electoral commissioners to conduct the next elections has given Speaker Justin Muturi until Monday to stop the parallel work being carried out by the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC).

Co-chair James Orengo said the Speaker must stop the work of the JLAC committee led by Ainabkoi MP Samuel Chepkonga to allow the joint committee continue with talks.
