Kenya’s legislators have raised questions on the legality of deploying troops to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) without parliamentary approval.
Mr William Kamket, the MP for Tiaty Constituency, Thursday rose on a point of order questioning the sequence of events, saying the letter from Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale came to the House on Wednesday afternoon while President William Ruto commissioned the troops to DRC on Tuesday afternoon.
