Kenyan Police Depart for Controversial Deployment in Haiti

Kenya has announced plans to deploy 1,000 police officers to Haiti as part of an international effort to stabilize the country. According to reports, the Kenyan government had initially planned to send 400 troops, which departed on Tuesday, with the remaining contingent expected to follow later. The mission is being led by Kenyan police officers and will involve personnel from other countries. However, it appears that Kenya's decision to deploy its police force without a prior agreement has raised concerns about the constitutionality of the move. A court ruling had previously deemed the deployment unconstitutional, but the government seems to be defying this ruling.
