Kenya said on Thursday that 144 additional police officers have arrived in Haiti for the Multinational Security Support Mission to fight gang violence.
Kipchumba Murkomen, the Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, said the police officers, comprising 120 men and 24 women, will reinforce the 600 officers deployed earlier who have already made commendable progress in reducing gang violence in the Caribbean nation. Murkomen said other countries, notably Guatemala and El Salvador, had sent additional officers in recent weeks.
