Nairobi - Kenya will be forced back to the drawing board after the High Court overturned President William Ruto's proposed deployment of police personnel to fight criminal gangs in Haiti. Nairobi's plan to send police officers to the Caribbean nation in order to stop gang violence was temporarily halted by the High Court. Why the court threw out the planned Haiti police deploymentJudge Chacha Mwita described the envisaged deployment as unconstitutional, null, and void. Why Kenya could still go ahead with the Haiti peace missionBy following due legal process, Kenya could, in theory, still deploy a police force to Haiti. Following the High Court decision, Mueke said available options could be an appeal or seeking an advisory opinion from the courts.
