The High Court on Tuesday extended orders stopping the deployment of police officers to Haiti for a peacekeeping mission. Justice Chacha Mwita directed the parties in the case to file their court papers and appear in court for highlighting on November 9. Dr Aukot filed the petition claiming that Kenya's bid to lead a UN-approved force into the Caribbean island nation is in gross violation of the constitution. He faulted Ruto for planning to deploy police officers outside Kenya at a time when the force has been unable to curb tribal violence in Lamu County, where members of one community have been targeted for death. He argued that Kenya has not ratified any law or treaty to allow the deployment of police officers outside the country
