The Kenyan government has revealed that it is facing a challenge in the number of Kenyan police deployed for the peacekeeping mission in Haiti.
In an official statement on Tuesday, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi revealed that while 2,500 police officers had been approved for the Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission in Haiti, only 36 per cent, representing 900 police officers, had been deployed. ''While there are some gains made since the arrival of our contingent, there are numerous challenges, including a low number of deployments which is now about 36 per cent of the approved number of 2,500," read part of the statement.
The MSS mission was authorized by the United Nations Security Council in October 2023 to help restore law and order in Haiti, which has been struggling with gang violence and instability.
