Kenyan police officers stationed in Haiti are receiving an additional monthly allowance of Sh295,000, on top of their regular salaries, according to a report by the Nation. This extra payment is intended to support the officers for their service in Haiti, where the conditions are often dangerous and unstable. The allowance serves as recognition of the difficult and risky nature of their mission.
In addition to this special allowance, the officers continue to receive their standard pay based on their positions within the Kenyan police force. The Kenyan government’s financial support highlights its commitment to ensuring that its personnel are well-compensated while serving abroad in peacekeeping roles.
The allowance not only helps the officers manage their needs while away from home but also acknowledges the value of their contributions to international peace efforts. Kenyan police officers in Haiti are part of a broader mission to maintain security and assist in rebuilding the country amid ongoing civil unrest and political instability.
This additional allowance demonstrates how much the officers’ work is valued, ensuring they are adequately supported while facing the challenges of their high-risk mission.
