Kenya announced today that it would be sending an additional 600 officers to Haiti, where criminal gangs continue to disrupt efforts aimed at bringing security to the country.
Flanked by the visiting Haitian Prime Minister Garry Connile, Kenyan President William Ruto said the officers are completing their pre-deployment training and will be ready for duty next month.
The number of troops from the African country under the United Nations Security-sanctioned Multinational Security System (MSS) Mission is expected to reach 2,500.
Kenya has so far sent 400 Kenyan police officers to Haiti.
