Azimio la Umoja - One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga has poked holes in the government's plans to deploy 1,000 police officers to combat criminal gangs in Haiti, terming the mission as a misplaced priority. The US itself withdrew its forces from there, the problem with Haiti is political, they do not need more guns to calm that situation," Raila stated. "I don't see if the situation in Haiti is a priority to Kenyans," he added. He warned that many US security officers lost their lives in Haiti, saying the government should be wary of the armed gangs in the country. President Ruto signed a deal with the United National Security Council to send 1,000 police officers to Haiti last month.
