Interior and National Administration CS Kipchumba Murkomen mourned the third officer killed in Haiti, even as he lauded the mission as a huge success.
The CS said the Government had dispatched a team to visit the family by the time the President was honouring the officer alongside two colleagues in New York, saying any lapse in communication was occasioned by time synchronization.
The officer had earlier been reported missing, and a search and rescue mission was launched.
A police statement said when the Government learnt of the death of the officer, a team was immediately dispatched to the family.
“The officer lost his life in unfortunate circumstances. We condole with the family. I send our deepest sympathies to the family and assure them of our support following this loss. We will give more details with the permission of the family later,” he said.
He was fielding questions from journalists during the Jukwaa La Usalama tour of Garissa County.
He said the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSSM) to Haiti has been a huge success despite the challenges faced.
