BREAKING NEWS: Kenya and Haiti sign deal on deployment of Officers

BREAKING NEWS: Kenya and Haiti sign deal on deployment of Officers: Kenya and Haiti have formalised the deployment of 1,000 police officers to Haiti.

The agreement was signed on Friday, March 1, by Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kithure Kindiki and the Haiti Security Minister at State House.

Also present were President William Ruto and Haiti Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The deal comes despite a court order that stopped the deployment plan, terming it as unconstitutional and lack of a mutual agreement.

Haiti Prime minister arrived yesterday  to finalise the agreement between the two states to send Kenyan troops to the troubled country.

In the meeting held at the state house, Ruto promised to help Haiti solve the gang problem in the Caribbean nation, as the two countries share the same origin.

Ruto stated,”We are offering the experience and expertise of our police officers in the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti as mandated by the United Nations Security Council and as guided by our courts.”

This comes after Jimmy Cherizier, leader of the gang federation G9 Family and Allies seized Haiti’s main airport, government agencies, and police stations, which has paralysed operations in the country on Thursday, February 29
