Kenya opted to deport Turkish National Harun Aydin, an ally of Deputy President William Ruto, instead of taking him to court at the request of Turkish authorities.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi revealed this in Mombasa during a parliamentary select committee on security over the circumstances that led to the deportation. This comes even as Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu cancelled his planned trip to Nairobi this week following a scourge of domestic fires back home.
