As soon as practicable after suspending a senior member or ordinary member from the member’s office under section 189 (1) , the president must appoint a person (the investigator ) to undertake an investigation into the conduct or circumstances that led to the suspension. The investigator must— investigate the conduct or circumstances leading to the suspension; and report to the Minister on the investigation; and give a copy of the report to the member and the president. The investigator’s report under subsection (2) may include a recommendation that the member be removed from office on a ground mentioned in section 188 (1) . The Minister may use a report given to the Minister under subsection (2) (b) about a senior member or ordinary member to decide whether or not to make a recommendation under section 188 about the member. If the Minister decides not to make a recommendation under section 188 about a senior member or ordinary member, the Minister must notify the president and the member of the decision as soon as practicable. If the president is notified under subsection (5) that the Minister has decided not to make a recommendation under section 188 about a senior member or ordinary member, the president must immediately cancel the member’s suspension.
