In an announcement made during Sunday worship at Kithirune Methodist Church of Kenya in Meru County, CS Kithure Kindiki revealed that Kenya’s participation in the Haiti peacekeeping mission would not incur any financial burden for the nation. The cost of deploying National Police Service Officers to Haiti will be entirely covered by the United Nations, thanks to contributions from its member states.

CS Kindiki underscored that Kenya’s involvement in the mission will not diminish the country’s commitment to safeguarding its citizens and their property. The pursuit of criminals, including bandits and terrorists, will continue unabated, as the Kenyan government diligently balances its national and international responsibilities.

Kenya’s role in leading the Haiti peacekeeping mission was lauded by CS Kindiki, who expressed pride in the country’s selection. Several other nations, including Chile, Jamaica, Grenada, Burundi, Chad, Nigeria, and Mauritius, have confirmed the deployment of their officers to Haiti.

Furthermore, CS Kindiki delivered a stern message regarding political stability. He affirmed that the government will not tolerate meetings or activities that insult or incite the public against other leaders. Political issues, whether in Meru County or elsewhere, must be resolved through peaceful means, without resorting to incitement, hooliganism, or violence.

In the face of persistent challenges related to livestock rustling and banditry, CS Kindiki emphasized the government’s unwavering commitment to dealing with such issues. In particular, he highlighted ongoing efforts to recover stolen livestock and bring the perpetrators to justice.

In a resolute statement, CS Kindiki urged multi-agency security officers to utilize the resources and weapons at their disposal to neutralize armed criminals, thereby ensuring the safety of citizens and upholding the government’s authority.
