A contingent of Kenyan troops who were sent to Haiti to assess preparedness for the multinational mission are returning home. The officers are returning to Kenya after the planned deployment which was supposed to happen earlier this week was delayed due to logistical constraints. One of the officers who was part of the advance team revealed that the venues where the officers would reside were 70 per cent complete. About 200 police officers from Kenya were set to arrive in Haiti earlier this week to join those who were already in the Caribbean nation. Speaking to BBC, President Ruto noted the deployment had been postponed to allow adequate time for preparation but affirmed his commitment to stabilizing the war-torn nation.
