CARICOM, an alliance of Caribbean nations, on Sunday, March 10, summoned some ambassadors to Jamaica as Kenya's commitment to deploy police to Haiti continues to experience delays. Envoys summoned are from the United States, France, Canada and the United Nations. Additionally, the envoys together with CARICOM will discuss possible ways to provide assistance to the people of Haiti. The meeting was convened the same day that the United States airlifted non-essential American staff from its embassy in Port-au-Prince. Despite the deteriorating situation in Haiti, Ruto assured the United States that Kenya would honour its commitment to deploy 1,000 police officers to Haiti.
