In Haiti, Kenyan Police Officers are not Paid on Time
Kenyan police officers arrived in Haiti two months ago, but they have still not received their deployment benefits.
Leading Kenyan newspaper The Nation revealed that the officers’ families were unable to send their kids to school because the UN, which authorized their deployment to Haiti, had not paid them.
A multinational team consisting of some 400 Kenyan officers arrived in the Caribbean island to assist the Haitian Police in their efforts to combat gang activity.
The MSS Mission is not run by the UN, but it is supported by it. It created a trust fund that donor nations freely contribute to.
The United States of America, Canada, and France are the main contributors.
The US Ambassador to Kenya expressed regret over the pay delay on Tuesday, August 27, in an interview with Citizen TV. He stated that the officers will receive their compensation by Friday, August 30.
One day prior, the Kenya National Police Service had declared that it was making efforts to guarantee that its officers who were deployed would get ongoing support.
The officers did receive their Kenyan wages, it was added.
The US committed $100 million to the mission in September of last year.
