Kenya is set to honor the returning contingent of officers from the Haiti security mission by having them participate in the Jamhuri Day parade.
The announcement was made by the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja.
The officers, who returned to the country on Tuesday after completing the mission were among the first Kenyan team deployed to Haiti in June 2024 under the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS), now renamed the Gang Suppression Force (GSF).
Their return followed the arrival of a replacement contingent on Sunday that has since taken over operations in the Caribbean nation.
“We want the people of Kenya to take note that you have gone to Haiti and you are back. You have been away for 18 months and you are now back. You will join that parado that we tell Kenyans that these are our officers who have done the job there and are now back, sound, strong and ready to serve our motherland”, Kama said.
