The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) says President Uhuru Kenyatta has until October to dissolve Parliament over the two-thirds gender rule. It wants MPs' salaries stopped, security withdrawn and parliamentary precincts and constituency offices closed on October 12.
LSK says there is no lacuna in law on what happens going forward: IEBC should conduct a mass by-election within 90 days and those elected are supposed to serve for the remainder of the term.
