The military has no immediate plans of deploying troops ahead of the General Election, the High Court has been told.

Appearing before a bench of three judges on Monday, Brigadier Kenneth Dindi filed affidavits from two senior officers from the military explaining the circumstances under which the military can be deployed in Kenya.

And as at now, Brig Dindi explained, there are no plans of deploying members of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) to electoral violence hotspots.

The National Super Alliance (Nasa) had gone to court seeking to block ministries of Defence and that of Interior from deploying KDF to areas dubbed hotspots before, during and after elections.
