The Law Society of Kenya wants the Interior ministry to withdraw MPs' and senators' security detail over CJ David Maraga's advisory on dissolving Parliament. In a statement on Thursday, chairman Nelson Havi said Parliament is unlawful and should not conduct business beyond October 12." Accordingly, you are hereby asked to withdraw all police officers assigned to all members of the assembly and senators effective 12th ….," he said. Havi also urged Kenyans to occupy Parliament buildings from October 12, if President Uhuru Kenyatta will not have dissolved Parliament as advised by Maraga. Maraga asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to dissolve Parliament — itself noncompliant with the two-thirds gender rule — for failure to enact the law which provides for gender balance.
