The interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has issued his statement about the deployment of 1000 Kenyan troups to Haiti in a lead mission to stop the gangs terrorising the people and government over there.
Speaking during a church service event at Ndenderu in Kiambaa, Kindiki promised that polive to be deployed will not be the elite because the country needs them more as the security of the country comes first.
“The deployment will not affect our elite, specialist-trained officers who are helping us in the fight against terror, banditry and also other serious threats to our national security.”
He also added that the country is well equipped and has enough officers that will use the extra forces in the deployment to the Caribbean country.
He is still yet to disclose how the officers will beat the unfamiliar terrain and language barrier which have proven to be some of the major problems that the officers will encounter in the mission but assured the country that the Haiti mission will not compromise the security of the country.
“I want to assure you that as the CS responsible for the security of the country, our deployment of officers in Haiti will not in any way affect our programs, our resolve and commitment to make sure that we defeat all the enemies of our security across our country”
The secretary also said that the programme is yet to start as the decision on who to send to Haiti is yet to be made thus making it clear that no officer has received deployment letters and therefore no one has started to learn French as it was earlier speculated by the former Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr Alfred Mutua.
This therefore means that if the police to be deployed are yet to start french classes, the deployment will take longer than it was imagined due to the time the officers will use in grasping the basics of the French language
