Kenya will deploy additional police officers to Haiti to help the government there fight armed gangs as part of a 2,500-strong multinational force, President William Ruto said on Thursday.
Ruto said in a speech at the United Nations General Assembly that Kenya had already deployed 382 specially trained officers, whom he visited in Haiti last week.
"I must emphasise, ... that Kenya will deploy the additional contingent towards attaining the target of all the 2,500 police officers by January next year," the Kenyan president said in his speech.
Kenya earlier pledged to lead the multinational force with 1,000 police officers.
