Sunday, March 17, 2024 – Disturbing information has emerged regarding the advance team of top police officers that President William Ruto sent to Haiti for a reconnaissance mission ahead of the deployment.
This is after it emerged that
most of them were killed in the troubled Caribbean country.
Seeking clarity on the matter,
former Kenyan Chief Justice Willy Mutunga tasked Interior CS Kithure Kindiki
and Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome to address the reports.
Mutunga argued that it would be
wrong on the side of the state to cover up the information when the officers'
families would want to know their whereabouts.
"We are hearing that some of our police officers in the advance team in Haiti have been killed. I am asking the IGP and CS Internal Security to answer my question.
"If true the families
involved should not keep quiet about the tragedy," said Mutunga.
A few days ago, Kenyan Foreign
Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Singoei stated that the police deployment to
Haiti would not proceed due to the administration's challenges.
This was after embattled Prime
Minister Ariel Henry resigned.
However, President William
Ruto would later insist the mission was on after a phone call with US
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
The Head of State noted that
Kenya would take leadership of the UN Security Support Mission in Haiti to
restore peace and security in Haiti.
