The deployment of a thousand Kenyan police officers to Haiti as part of a UN-supported mission, aimed at restoring peace to the country plunged into chaos and violence, will only happen with funding from the member states of the international organization, said the Kenyan Interior Minister on Thursday.
According to Minister Kithure Kindiki, the overall budget for deploying the police for one year, with the goal of restoring calm to the Caribbean nation plagued by gangs controlling entire regions, amounts to $600 million.
