Ruto reveals new plan to deploy more Kenyan police to Haiti
President William Ruto says he is open to the idea of reinforcing the Kenyan police deployed to Haiti to fight anarchy
President William Ruto says he is open to the idea of reinforcing the Kenyan police deployed to Haiti to fight anarchy.
The first cohort comprising 400 law enforcers left Nairobi for Port-au-Prince in June this year.
Ruto paid a visit to the officers on Saturday, September 21.
He expressed delight in their successes so far, committing to add another contingent of 600 officers.
The Head of State mentioned that he would engage world leaders to strategize for the success of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission and perhaps make it a full-time peace-keeping mission, considering that its mandate in Haiti expires at the end of October.

“I am now better prepared to engage world leaders on Haiti at the UN General Assembly this week. We will call attention to the need to seize the opportunity of the last few weeks to realise the mandate of Security Council Resolution 2699. I am committed to deploying 600 more officers in the operation,” he said.
The MSS mission, backed by the United Nations, was deployed in the Caribbean country to arrest lawlessness characterised by gang violence and establish security to allow a conducive environment for free and fair elections in future.
Ruto praised the Kenyan officers for their professional display three months after they landed in Haiti.
The MSS mission managed to recapture a host of critical installations from the gangs, including the State University Hospital of Haiti (HUEH) and the country’s main international airport.
