Govt criticized over mishandling of officer Kabiru’s death in Haiti

The government is scrambling to save face amid criticism over its handling of the case of Benedict Kabiru, the Kenyan police officer serving in Haiti, now confirmed dead. In what appears to be a knee-jerk response, the National Police Service insists it had been in close contact with the family since Kabiru went missing in March. But questions linger after Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen admitted the family only learned of their loved one’s death from President William Ruto’s speech on Monday, citing time differences as the reason for the communication lapse.
