On July 23rd, 2021, Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi took to social media to share photos of the LSK offices, claiming that DCI operatives had closed them to prevent staff interviews.
A makeshift notice on the gate read that the offices were closed for fumigation over the weekend. However, the notice, dated July 23rd, 2021, stated: "The LSK Secretariat Offices shall remain closed on Friday 23rd July, 2021 and Saturday 24th July, 2021 for fumigation. The office shall re-open on Monday 26th July 2021. All inconvenience caused by the closure is highly regretted," which Nelson Havi disputed.
Disputing the closure, President Havi claimed: "The State, acting through the DCI have locked up the offices of the Law Society of Kenya to prevent recruitment of Staff."
