After the United States halted its financial contributions to the Haiti mission, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi responded to worries over the mission’s funding.
“The Haiti mission is a component of a global endeavor, and funding is not exclusively dependent on one country,” Mudavadi clarified.
Several nations have contributed funds and equipment to the mission, which is being carried out in accordance with a United Nations resolution.
The United States, a major contributor, has offered assistance, including a $40 million waiver.
Musalia Mudavadi , the cabinet secretary for foreign affairs, disclosed that the US freeze had affected nearly $15 million.
He explained that this amount relates to the talks between the authorities and that Kenya is still optimistic that these money will be released shortly.
Mudavadi also recognized the important role that other nations have played in helping the Haitian Multinational Security Support (MSS), such as Canada, Algeria, and others.
Together, these nations have made $110 million in contributions to make the mission a success.
Mudavadi also gave an update on Kenya’s diplomatic efforts, mentioning that talks are underway between the Dominican Republic and the country.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) that would enable Kenyan police serving in the Haiti mission to receive medical care in the Dominican Republic in the event of an injury is almost ready to be signed.
Mudavadi reassured the public that Kenya is still dedicated to its mission in Haiti and that the process is continuing despite the difficulties.
He underlined that although more assistance from other nations is appreciated, Kenya will make use of the resources at its disposal to guarantee the restoration of peace and the mission’s successful advancement.
