Nearly 20 of the roughly 400 Kenyan police officers serving in Haiti on a UN-backed anti-gang force have submitted letters of resignation from the mission over the past two months because of pay delays and poor conditions, three officers told Reuters.

The officers have received no response to their letters and continue to serve on the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission, said the three officers, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
