Kenya’s government has said it will not deploy its police officers to Haiti until all conditions on training and funding are met.
It would be recalled that the United Nations Security Council gave its approval for Kenya to command a multinational mission to combat violent gangs in the troubled Caribbean country last month and Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki told Parliament’s Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security that unless all resources are mobilized and availed, the nations troops will not leave the country.
Kindiki said U.N. member states are securing resources and have identified how funds will be mobilised and made available to Kenya for the mission, however, it was not immediately clear when the forces would be fully trained and funded to allow for deployment, or when they might be deployed.
