High Court Stops Govt From Deploying Police to Haiti
Kenya High Court on Monday blocked the Interior Ministry from approving a proposal to deploy Kenyan police officers to Haiti, a mission expected to restore peace in the troubled Caribbean Island.
Justice Chacha Mwita issued a conservatory order blocking the government from deploying 1,000 police to Haiti following approval by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on October 2.
”That a conservatory order is hereby issued restraining the respondents from deploying police officers to Haiti or any other country until October 24, 2023,” Justice Mwita ordered.
The petition, filed by the Third Way Alliance through Ekuru Aukot on October 6, has challenged the move’s legality, which could challenge the US-backed mission.
