Political parties’ security groups a breach of law

Last month, the Attorney General, Mr George Masaju, warned political parties over their move to establish security groups. He said doing so was against the law. As law abiding organisations I expected the parties, notably the three major political parties which have such groups, Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema), Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) and Civic United Front (CUF) would heed the AG call and disband their groups.
