Kenya has put on hold the deployment of 1,000 police officers to tame gang crimes in Haiti. According to Principle Secretary for Foreign Affairs Korir Sing'oei, the decision comes about following the resignation of Haiti's Prime Minister on Monday, March 11, 2024. Kenya, therefore, will wait for the installation of a recognised constitutional authority before further decisions on the deployment are made.
