Kenyan Cops in Haiti: Larry Madowo Captures Heartfelt Prayer Moment
CNN International correspondent Larry Madowo spent part of Sunday with Kenyan police officers deployed to Haiti and shared an update on his social media.
Madowo shared that he found the officers who were deployed to restore security in the war-torn Caribbean nation praying.
“I arrived in Haiti on Sunday and found Kenyan police officers in church praying for themselves,” Madowo wrote on social media.
A video shared by the journalist shows the officers in uniform in a room praying.
An officer in uniform is seen leading the sermon, preaching to his colleagues, and asking for God’s favor and protection during the mission.
Quoting several verses in the Bible, the officer nourished his colleagues spiritually, with several seen carrying Bibles.
Larry Madowo explains why no policewoman was on the video
Netizens were quick to note that the room was full of men and questioned why female officers were not in the video.
He clarified that no female officer was deployed in the first batch of 400 police officers who left Kenya for the UN-backed peace mission.

“Kenya did not send any female police officers to Haiti in the first batch of 400, for those asking,” Madowo noted, bringing the matter to rest.
The heartwarming video saw Kenyans troop to social media with many commending the officers for finding time to pray.
