flag Kenyan President confirms police officer Benedict Kabiru, missing since a March gang attack in Haiti, is dead, sparking family outrage over delayed and indirect notification.

flag President William Ruto confirmed the death of Kenyan police officer Benedict Kabiru, who went missing in Haiti in March during a gang ambush while serving in the UN-backed Multinational Security Support mission, marking him as the third Kenyan officer killed in the mission this year. flag The announcement, made at the UN General Assembly, contradicted earlier government statements that Kabiru was still alive, shocking his family, who accused officials of misleading them for months and failing to provide updates or support. flag The family, based in Kiambu, is demanding answers and the return of Kabiru’s remains, criticizing the government for revealing his death through a foreign speech rather than direct communication. flag The growing toll has fueled public concern over the mission’s safety, transparency, and inadequate resources, with Ruto acknowledging the mission operates at only 40% capacity due to personnel shortages, outdated U.S.-supplied equipment, and unclear mandates. flag A court hearing on Kabiru’s case is set for September 24 at Kenya’s Milimani Law Courts, where his family seeks official confirmation of his fate and full disclosure of government actions.
