The Kenyan High Court made a ruling last Friday, declaring the sending of National Police Service (NPS) officers to Haiti as unconstitutional.
This decision caused waves in the global community and prompted a reaction from the Government of Haiti. Issuing a statement from Port-au-Prince on Sunday, the Caribbean nation expressed cautious optimism regarding the situation in Kenya. They conveyed their hope that the matters at hand would be swiftly resolved, leading to a positive outcome. This sentiment held significant weight for Haiti, a country currently grappling with the pervasive reign of gangs over large portions of its territory.
Recognizing the complexities of their predicament, the Haitian government has expressed gratitude towards the nations that had offered assistance in various forms to help restore order and stability to their troubled nation. Their statement emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts to address the challenges posed by internal unrest. The Kenyan government had initially suggested deploying 1,000 police officers to lead a multinational force responsible for reinstating law and order in Haiti. However, the Kenyan High Court, under the guidance of Justice Chacha Mwita, declared this deployment illegal.
The Council’s authority does not extend to sending police officers outside of Kenya, resulting in a legal setback. In light of the court’s ruling, the United States has reaffirmed its commitment to deploying a multinational security support mission in Haiti. The US Department of State issued a statement on Saturday, emphasizing the urgent need for international intervention in response to the increasing gang violence and destabilizing factors in Haiti. The statement stresses the importance of restoring democratic order through an inclusive political process and taking swift action to address the unprecedented levels of violence.
It is important to note that Haiti has not held elections since 2016, making it the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. The assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021 has left the presidency vacant due to criminal activity. With the Prime Minister acting as the Head of State, the nation is in desperate need of stability.
Kenyan police officers do…
Kenyan police officers do not have the experience to deal with these Haitian monkeys.Even the USA knows this country is a lost cause .Just like Somalia it should be left alone to deal with its problems.These are the descendants of slaves .Savages they kill for sport why should Kenyan soldiers be sacrificed.They speak neither French nor creole so exactly how will they communicate with these savages and what makes them believe they can restore order and even why bother Haiti has nothing to offer Kenya .
