Kenya's parliament back Haiti mission despite court case
Kenya's parliament has approved a controversial plan by the government to deploy about 1,000 police officers to Haiti to help stop gang violence.
This is despite a court order barring any deployment, pending the outcome of a legal challenge into the plan.
Opposition lawmakers condemned the vote, but the ruling party used its majority to back the government following a fiery debate.
Haiti had appealed for international help to tackle growing lawlessness.
