Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The High Court of Kenya in Nairobi ruled Friday (Jan. 26) that the planned deployment of Kenyan police officers to the Caribbean nation of Haiti was illegal.<\/b><\/p>\n

The court said the National Security Council lacked the legal authority to send police officers to another country.<\/p>\n

According to local media, the National Security Council petitioned Parliament to approve the deployment of Kenyan police officers last October.<\/p>\n

The approval by lawmakers came amid a High Court order temporarily blocking the planned deployment pending the hearing of a petition filed by opposition leader Ekuru Aukot and two other petitioners.<\/p>\n

The lawyer who helped draft Kenya’s revised 2010 Constitution, argued the deployment was unconstitutional and charged that Kenya needed its police to quell insecurity within its own borders.<\/p>\n

President William Ruto defended the deployment.<\/p>\n

The court decision can be appealed.<\/p>\n

Kenya was supposed to send 1,000 police officers and lead the UN-backed security mission<\/p>\n

Over a year ago, Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry asked the UN to urgently deploy a multinational force. The number of kidnappings and killings keeps rising on the island nation.<\/p>\n
