The Consul-General of Kenya’s Consulate in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Noor Gabow made a maiden courtesy call to the Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission team as part of a morale boost in their efforts to contain gang violence in the Caribbean country.
Kenya has more than 800 police officers in Haiti and is leading a UN sponsored mission to contain the gangs there.
The team is facing pressure from the gangs due to among others lack of resources to enhance their operations.
Gabow was last week formally received as the Consul-General to Haiti. It is the first time that Kenya has a Consul-General in Haiti.
He on Monday July 22 visited the MSS force commander Geoffrey Otunge for talks on the progress of the mission.
Gabow is the immediate Deputy Inspector General of Administration Police whose members are among the officers in Haiti.
Otunge was one of his juniors when he served as the DIG.
According to a statement, Otunge briefed Gabow on the progress of the MSS troops in the MSS security mission.
While addressing the police officers, Gabow conveyed greetings from president William Ruto, and the Kenyan people at large.
