Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has defended President William Ruto against accusations that he went against the Constitution by deploying Kenya's troops outside the country without the approval of the National Assembly.

President Ruto last week, at a ceremony held at Embakasi Garrison in Nairobi, flagged off the Kenya Defence Forces contingent which will be deployed in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
