The High Court has barred the Government from deploying at least 1,000 police officers not only to fight hardcore gangs in Haiti but also to any other country.
The ruling explains that the National Security Council has no legal mandate to deploy police officers out of Kenya. Further, the ruling says Kenya does not have reciprocal agreement with Haiti, therefore, officers from the National Police Service cannot be sent to Haiti.
The Haiti ruling comes hours after the Court of Appeal on Friday morning declared President Ruto’s Affordable Housing Project illegal, ordering a stop to contributions to the scheme with immediate effect.
