[Ex?] Kenya Navy personnel obtain court order against courts-martial

Twenty-seven former commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the Kenya Navy have obtained an order temporarily barring their trial by court-martial on desertion charges. The circumstances and precise legal issues are not set forth as clearly as one would prefer in the press coverage, but seem to involve whether the accused, who claim to have resigned, were properly separated from the KDF as well as whether the authorities complied with speedy charging requirements.
