President William Ruto has said that Kenya will push on with the Haiti mission, offering hope for the violence prone country, despite a court ruling last week that blocked the deployment of Kenyan officers to Haiti.

High court Judge Chacha Mwita last week ruled that the Kenya and Haiti lacked a reciprocal arrangement which would necessitate the deployment.

“It is not contested that there is no reciprocal arrangement between Kenya and Haiti and for that reason, there can be no deployment,” Mwita ruled.

The judge thus barred the National Police Service and the National Security Council from authorising the deployment.

Notably the ruling to stop the deployment of police officers, caused tension in Haiti as citizens lamented that the gang felt empowered to cause havoc. The locals appealed to Ruto to continue with the deployment.

“Haiti has actually written formerly, not today, several months ago,” Ruto stated on Tuesday while on the Italian African Summit in Italy. “So that the mission can go ahead as soon as next week if all the paperwork is done between Kenya and Haiti on the bilateral route that has been suggested by the court.”

President Ruto vowed to appeal the case.

The Caribbean country expects that the agreement will lay out a clear structure on how the deployment will take place devoid of breaking any constitutional guidelines.

The Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, and Jamaica subsequently said they were willing to help ,with the United States pledging $200 million to get the deployment off the ground. Kenya has a long history of taking part in international peace keeping missions recently one being the mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo
