President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Ariel Henry witness the signing of a reciprocal instrument between Kenya and Haiti on the Multi-National Security Support Mission in Haiti. The United States on Monday pledged Sh41 billion ($300 million) to the Kenyan-led multinational security mission to Haiti, emphasising the urgency of restoring stability in the region. Despite legal obstacles, including a court rejection of the initial proposal to send police officers to Haiti, Kenya remains steadfast in its commitment to lead the Multinational Security Support Mission sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council. However, security experts have raised concerns regarding the suitability of police deployment in addressing Haiti’s complex security challenges. On the US push to have Kenya deploy police officers, Musamali describes this as the art of outsourcing the dirty work.
