The victim was admitted to intensive care in a hospital in the Dominican Republic and left, according to the local newspaper “Diario Libre.” A clause would be inserted in the contract of the Multinational mission so that Kenyan police officers affected in armed fighting are treated in the Dominican Republic, according to a source who spoke to the agency.
THE HAITI FACTOR, August 14 2024._The Commander in Chief of the Kenyan Mission in Haiti and the Acting Director General of the Haitian National Police, Rameau Normil published on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, a joint note through which they informed the general public of the gunshot wound of a Kenyan police officer who was part of the embryo of the Multinational Mission.
The agent in question was hit by projectiles in the shoulder, near the port of the capital, in clashes with armed bandits who, after having assassinated the driver, had looted a truck transporting rice.
According to the note signed by two of the aforementioned high-ranking officers, the victim was taken to a hospital in Port-au-Prince to receive the necessary treatment for his gunshot wounds.
Godfrey Otunge and Rameau Normil had even guaranteed that the clinical state of the injured policeman’s health was stable.
Despite their guarantee, the two officials, together with the Haitian government, sent the Kenyan to the Dominican Republic for additional care, the Dominican press revealed.
According to information available to ” THE HAITI FACTOR » the decision to transfer the injured Kenyan policeman to the Dominican Republic, would be included in the Mission contract defined by the United States.
According to the newspaper “Diario Libre”, citing a military source, the member of the Multinational Mission was taken care of and admitted to intensive care at the Center for Advanced Medicine and Telemedicine Diagnostics (Cedimat), in the Republic.
Still according to “Diario Libro” which lifted the veil on the malice of the Haitian government authorities and the head of the Kenyan Mission, the Kenyan policeman shot was discharged (released by the hospital) on August 5. He has resumed his duties in Haiti, according to the military source who spoke to Dominican media.
It should also be recalled that the Kenyan press had loudly claimed and attributed the resumption of control of the building housing the State University Hospital of Haiti (HUEH), commonly called the General Hospital, to the Kenyan police officers deployed in Haiti.
Despite the propaganda, the country’s largest hospital is not prepared to provide them with adequate health care in case of gunshot wounds if there are exchanges with the Haitian gangsters who control up to 80% of the capital. And this, despite the priority that Prime Minister Garry has given to the Haitian health system.
