In a letter signed by Charles Dulo, the Commission's chairperson, the decision was arrived at following deliberations during the 73rd Commission meeting held on October 15, 2025.
In her place, the Director of Corporate Services would assume the role of Acting Commission Secretary pending the probe's conclusion.
"All staff are hereby directed to accord full cooperation and support to the Acting Commission Secretary during this interim period," the letter read in part.
Wambua, who has been at the helm of the Commission since March 4, 2022, previously served as the Law Society of Kenya CEO for six years. During this period, she also served as the Secretary to the Advocates Disciplinary Tribunal and Secretary to the Advocates Benevolent Association.
She also held positions at the Board of Kituo cha Sheria and the then Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs.
