President William Ruto has affirmed that the Kenya police are up to the task of restoring order in the gangs-controlled Haiti nation. In a statement on Tuesday, Ruto cited the country's past successful United National Peace Missions as a demonstration of the capacity and capability of Kenyan forces. "We express our determination that this mission will provide a different footprint in the history of international interventions in Haiti," the president said. The President said Kenya's mission in Haiti is based on the humanitarian urge to empower the people of Haiti to take back their country from gangs. In our struggle, we always had friends, not an overwhelming multitude of powerful allies, yet nevertheless true, loyal and determined friends," Ruto said.
