200 additional Kenyan Police Officers arrive in Haiti on Tuesday

Another 200 Kenyan police officers have been sent to address gang violence in Haiti, senior officials said Tuesday. 

“We are happy to work side-by-side with the Kenyans,” Normil Rameau, the chief of  National Police, said shortly after they arrived.

“In the name of the Haitian government, we give them a warm welcome,” He added.

This follows the June deployment of 400 officers, with Kenya planning to send a total of 1,000 officers despite ongoing legal challenges.
