Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome has appointed a new commander to lead officers deployed in the Haiti operation. Otunge will replace his boss, Deputy Inspector General APS, Noor Gabow, who will now take the coordination role from Nairobi. He was previously appointed in 2019, during President Jovenel Moise and Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe's government. During his first stint as PNH’s director general, Normil was accused of laxity in the face of increasing gang violence in Port-au-Prince and its surrounding areas. Normil's re-entry to the helm of the PNH comes amid increased pressure urging Prime Minister Conille to strengthen the police.
