Kenyan police officers who are fighting gangs in Haiti have received more equipment to enhance their operations, including armored personnel carriers and choppers. The team also received protective kits to use in their operations in the troubled country.

Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome said the Kenyan troops have been working closely with the Haitian National Police since their arrival. The troops have undertaken strategic mapping of key operational areas and conducted several joint patrols within the gang-controlled capital, Port-au-Prince.

President William Ruto flagged off the first tranche of the 1,000 Kenyan troops pledged to the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti on June 24. The Kenyan police will be joined by teams from other countries, including Chile, Jamaica, Grenada, Paraguay, Burundi, Chad, Nigeria, and Mauritius.

The Kenyan teams are from the Rapid Deployment Unit, Anti Stock Theft Unit, General Service Unit, and Border Patrol Unit, and have undertaken training in various areas, including language, to handle the situation on the ground professionally.
