KENYA has deployed 217 more armed police officers to join Haiti’s multinational force which is aiming to stamp out the gang violence that has plagued the Caribbean nation, interior minister Kipchumba Murkomen said on Saturday.

This comes as Haitian journalists demand justice as they buried a second colleague killed by gangs.

Mr Murkomen said that the Kenyan police officers left for Haiti on Friday to join the United States sponsored force.
