IG Kanja breaks silence over missing Kenyan police officer in Haiti

Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has confirmed that the government is searching for Kenyan police officer in Haiti and that they will issue a statement once he is found.

Kanja was speaking at a time when the family of the missing officer said that little or no information is coming from the government in regard to their loved one.

The officer went missing six days ago after the officers in Haiti on a mission were ambushed by a gang and after they regrouped, they realized that one of them was missing.

“I keep wondering what is happening where he is. Have they remained silent as we have, or is the search continuing? My plea is for them to update us on their progress. From where he disappeared, how far have they reached?

I have been burdening my brother and sister, asking them to take me to the authorities for updates. When I return home, I find my grandson full of questions. He asks, ‘Shosho, I am supposed to go to university. What if my father is dead?’ I tell him, ‘You will study, and you will succeed” said  Benedict Kabiru’s mother

“Since Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, we have been in communication with the Sub-County Commander. However, we are constantly told to wait. Every time we visit the office, we are informed that a search and rescue mission is underway, but we have not received any tangible updates.” said a family relative

The news comes at a time when some of the officers family members have called on the government to halt the mission so that their loved ones can come back safely.
