Ruto holds talks with Haiti transitional council ahead of police deploymentPresident William Ruto on Wednesday night held talks with the Haiti Transitional Presidential Council chaired by Engineer Edgard Leblanc Fils just a day after a team of Haitian police commanders concluded their trip to Nairobi. The president said Kenya is a firm believer in the shared global values of multilateralism as enshrined in the United Nations Charter. The Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti was authorised by the United Nations Security Council on October 2, 2023, under Resolution 2699. Apart from Kenya, at least five other nations, including Jamaica and Benin, have told the United Nations they plan to send police officers as part of the mission. Kenya remains tight-lipped about the details of the deployment, although sources confirm that the deployment date is fast approaching.
