Prof Kindiki on Thursday told the National Security and Administration Committee that a reconnaissance team, sent to Haiti to assess the situation, had established that the mission to flush out gangs would be “viable”. He said the report of the second assessment would determine whether Kenya would go ahead with the mission. Koome revealed that “a lot of planning” had gone into the mission aimed at “building the capacity of the existing police force in Haiti”. Mid this year, Kenya offered to lead the Multinational Security Support mission in Haiti, committing to deploy 1,000 officers. The Interior CS defended the mission, saying it was a “great honour” that Kenya had been tasked to lead the mission.
