Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) had formed a committee to accord Bungoma Senator Wetangula an opportunity to show cause why he should not be deregistered as a voter.

The five member committee comprised of Thomas Letangule (Chairperson), Lilian Mahiri-Zaja (member), Mohamed Alawi (member), Crispin Owiye (secretary) and Moses Kipkogei acting as the assisting Counsel.
