Kenyan President William Ruto sent about 400 police officers off with prayer and a flag on Monday. Kenya's President William Ruto bid a ceremonial goodbye on Monday to some 400 police officers set to lead a UN-backed mission to tackle gang violence in Haiti, the presidency said. "This mission is one of the most urgent, important and historic in the history of global solidarity," Ruto told the officers in quotes shared by his office. The deployment was approved by a UN Security Council resolution in October, only to be delayed by a Kenyan court decision in January. So William Ruto is circumventing that because he does not believe in the rule of law," he said, describing the Kenyan leader as "a slave of America."
