Police Officers Finally Breaks Silence on Plan to Be Sent to Haiti

Police officers are not happy with what is happening in the country, even as the government now plans on sending a section for a security mission in Haiti.

This is according to Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina, who has revealed that most officers are unhappy and have been opening up to him in confidence.

The opposition senator says that he has been in contact with officers, who are complaining about poverty despite serving the government.

He has said that some have been stopping him on the road to complain, adding that the complains have risen after the Haiti issue came up.

“For the last two weeks, I have received a minimum of 100 messages from police officers expressing their ordeal of languishing in poverty. Others stop me on the road to explain their challenges especially accessing their comprehensive medical covers,” he said on his X account on Tuesday evening.

He wondered the reasoning behind sending such people to help another country, when their own mother country can’t look into their problems.

“Yet today we are here ‘celebrating’ the UN Security Council resolution to send our men and women in uniform to Haiti for a “security mission” If we can’t even get their health insurance right!

He said that it would have been better if the Kenyan government addressed its own security problems before dispatching officers to another country.

“Are we really going to get anything else right for them? We need to dust our floor first before offering to vacuum other people’s floors!” he added.

But President William Ruto on Tuesday affirmed that the mission cannot be aborted, saying that everything will go on as planned.

The officers are expected to help the Haitian government tackle the gang menace there.
