Bumula Member of Parliament Jack Wamboka has disagreed with President William Ruto’s deal of sending security officers to Haiti. Kenya has agreed to send more than 1,000 Kenyan security officers to the Caribbean nation to help combat the gang violence that has wrecked the country for years. “Personally I’m not in support of the direction that President Ruto took to ferry our officers to Haiti, Kenya itself is facing a shortage of the officers,” Wamboka said. The Biden administration has pledged $100 million (Sh14.5 billion) to the mission and another $100 million (Sh14.5 billion from the Defense Department in the form of intelligence, airlifts, communications and medical assistance. Ruto has welcomed the United Nations Security Council's approval of a multinational security mission for Haiti, led by Kenya.
